What’s cookin’ at the Fourth Avenue Spring Street Fair 2022

Mar 31, 20222 min read

The Fourth Avenue Spring Street Fair, which hasn’t happened since the spring of 2019, is returning to delight its visitors, shoppers, and most importantly, the eaters.

The spring season’s festivities begin at 10 a.m. until dusk on Friday, April 1 – Sunday, April 3, and there’s going to be plenty of edible items to get your hands on. Although, it can be hard to decide what you’d like to eat when you’re inhaling aromas from several different food trucks at once.

If you’re concerned about where to park, there are a few options this time around. A free shuttle service is provided from the Pennington Street Garage and the Tyndal Avenue Garage by VIP Taxi. The Fourth Avenue Merchant Association also recommends parking along the Modern Streetcar line and using Sun Link.

Check out the list of this year’s vendors that are dishin’ out the goods this year.

More about Matt

At a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.

He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.

If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
