The Fourth Avenue Merchants Association (FAMA) is excited to announce that the community’s fair is back next weekend. The long-standing 54th annual tradition will take place Friday, March 24 - Sunday, March 26 from 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. Sunday.
Every year, the Fourth Avenue Street Fair receives local, national, and international recognition and media for offering something for everyone. One neat tidbit about the Spring Street Fair is that The Cooking Channel's "Carnival Eats" will be filming a new episode, featuring many of this season's food vendors.
There will be over 400 Artists, fair food, an amazing line-up of musicians, performers, buskers, dancers, beer, amazing Tucson spring weather, and much more. This event draws over 300,000 people and employs hundreds of workers during the three days of bringing together our community through arts, and culture.
The Spring fair will also provide some new experiences to enjoy like the Euro-Trampoline (west Seventh Street), Ben’s Bells Pop-up Community Art Studio (Haggarty Plaza), Riteway Heating & Cooling CoolZone (a great way to cool off), DrinkAZ Lounge, the Ram Plumbing Fifth Street Stage sponsored by KHYT, KIIM FM, and The Vibe with local performers that competed for their spot on the stage.
Also, there are plenty of bars and restaurants permanently situated along Fourth Avenue (or nearby), so pop your head in and get out of the sun for a bit if they're open during the Street Fair. Read our article, "30+ Restaurants & bars to visit while taking a stroll on Fourth Avenue."
