I used to come to this street fair more often but now gravitate towards the Oside one on Thursday…read more Omgah, it's Thursday lol. But back to the review, please take time to go on the first week of May! There was around 500 vendors, I might be wrong but it was about six blocks full of fun things to be found. They do need some more things for men but then again, women are more in to shopping as a collective. If you love jewelry, small business finds, and food, it's definitely something I will be coming back for. I can't wait to go next year and replenish my earring collection. Recently started to collect them! We also had the most amazing freakin cake!!!! OMGAH!!!! I promise, if you like a cake that isn't dry, even a coffee cake that isn't dry, this company is worth ordering from! I am going to be ordering some yummy gifts for people in the future. It's called Dolce Monachelli's they do have a website and it's the best Bundt cake you will ever have. They have a cute sampler you can always get as a gift bc I will be gifting with these cakes! I think this is the best cake I've ever had! Sorry I don't have picks of the cake lol it was just too good and I forgot.

Did ya'll know that one of the largest street fairs in the United States is the Carlsbad Village…read moreStreet Faire? Well, ya'll know now! This FREE event is sooo popular it not only attracts local people but also people from other States. There are over 750 unique vendors for arts & crafts, antiques, jewelry, hand-made or vintage clothing, games, live entertainment and much more. It's a FUN Sunday full of shopping, food and festivities. So come on Yelp Community don't miss this biannual event!

A typical California farmers market with 60% fresh grown and local food, 30% arts & crafts and 10%…read morefood booth/trucks. This dynamic is welcomed to most people because they get to socialize and buy more then just fresh fruits and veggies. The only thing I am critical about is the organization of the booth space that allows the flow of people in better safety and comfort. I assume there was some store front push back that wanted 100% of there sidewalk available and clear surfing the market but what that has done has jammed too many people in what is obviously a "narrow space" to walk. It would be a fair and SAFE compromise to use 50% of the sidewalks on each side and adjust back the venders booths giving people 5 feet more in the middle to walk around. It would be easier to do this rather then assume or ask people to not stand around creating bottlenecks or be considerate of others and move like a car on a road. Expect to drive around for parking if you are not local enough to walk to the event and crowding due to the popular area it is in, live music, fresh foods and drinks as well as plenty of unique crafts and clothing.

I was super excited to come here to check out the street fair! But it wasnt quite what i was…read moreexpecting. I feel like a lot of booths were from palm desert, so not necessarily local businesses from encinitas, and i felt like there were not a lot of arts n crafts n stuff like i was expecting. There werent a lot of food options, but luckily the food we had was great! I have to drive like 1.5-2 hours to get here so I probably wouldnt come again. It was a gorgeous day and fun to do once.

Found this festival my accident when we were visiting Oceanside on a whim. It's basically a giant…read morestreet fair on the water. Tons of booths of various artists and companies, a ton of swag, and an entire area for just food! Parking is a bit of a pain if you show up later in the day, but there is a bus that will take you for the far reaches of the area, which is where we ended up parking. It was a nice day though, so we did enjoy the long walk. One of the things i enjoy about these types of festivals is meeting new people. There usually aren't enough tables for everyone to eat so sharing a table is very common. You almost always meet someone with a great story or life to share, or they might think you're that person with the great story or life to share. So don't be afraid to have someone join you and start up a conversation. It's all part of the fun.

Not like it used to be. Oceanside sold out of the community…read more They rid of so many fun events and made it into a place to eat, like we dont have enough food resources.

This place is so much fun! Can't believe it's every week. Most diverse food fair I've ever been…read more The Mediterranean chicken, tamales, lamb chops were standout. Sausage rolls and the candied nuts were yummy also. Took home Java rice, short ribs, paella, and pizza as well. Need to go back for the tri tip sandwich and fish and chips and all those desserts! Great location in downtown, easy to walk around and street parking nearby. Cool beachy vibe. Some lines were long but moved fast. Lots of vendors providing samples. Cash is king, most vendors prefer otherwise an extra fee.

I spent a good portion of my Sunday at this festival. The festival ran from 9 in the morning to 4…read morePM. The festival had had hundreds of vendors, not including all the business that were open along Coast Boulevard. The festival had two stages for live music and other forms of entertainment. I was surprised when I saw carnival rides for those who may dare. I have to say, I really enjoyed myself. The locals were very friendly and high spirits. All the vendor were very cool, except for a few pushy ones trying to promote their products. I say many people buying clothes, sweets, and some jewelery. I focused on the food vendors. I check out the Tri-Tip being grilled. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/g41a-jLeOEGZISSnXQQCXg?select=E7wRcYyi36hlj2YHXvfSqQ#E7wRcYyi36hlj2YHXvfSqQ) I tried a very good hot dog with bacon and spicy ketchup and Bitchin Burgers (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/g41a-jLeOEGZISSnXQQCXg?select=E7wRcYyi36hlj2YHXvfSqQ#Pr8AXRXUMr2v3xhZZVxvLA), and finally grabbed some kettle corn and lemonade. I had a good time, but I have to say, for such a large Fall Festival, I was surprise there was not as many food vendor. Other than that, good times.

Amazing time as always. A great chance to go back in time. Most people do dress up but come as you…read moreare. Tons of things to do like joisting demonstrations, archery, mock battles, food, drink, the Queens Quest for kids and older. Plenty of stands to check out too. You can visit different guilds and learn about the history. Come with little things to barter and an adventurous spirit. Parking can be rough and sometimes there is a line and some disorganization getting into the event but despite that, we will be back.

This was my second time coming to the Renaissance fair, the first time was many years ago…read morepre-covid. We came early so there was plenty of parking still, but it can be hard navigating with all of the people trying to get in and out. Next time I think I will park in the church and take the shuttle bus and see if that is better. I like that this Renaissance Fair is big but not too big. Sometimes too big can get overwhelming, and you don't get to see everything. This one is a really good size and there are a lot of things to see and do, and tons of vendors. I will say a lot of the booths were very expensive for their Wares. However I don't have much to compare it to, so this may be standard for Renaissance Fair merchants and goods. I will say I have seen some very beautiful items, some of which definitely look like they have put a lot of work into. There were several places inside for food, and surprisingly the prices weren't extremely terrible, and the food was pretty good. I had Carnitas fries, and fried zucchini, both of which were pretty good. I loved seeing everyone dressed up, and putting so much effort into these elaborate costumes. There are activities and entertainment as well. The actors really get into character, and we got to see the procession with the queen in tow. Since it was my first time I didn't do a lot of the activities, but they did have some games, archery, Etc. We did stop inside the Beer Garden, which had some entertainment that was very funny. It definitely was more adult-oriented in there, which makes sense. They had people singing funny songs, and they held two contests while we were there, one for the men and one for the women. We were there for several hours, and if you do a lot of the activities I could see you easily spending the whole day here. It's a lot of walking so we're comfortable shoes. I enjoyed myself, and think I would do this again, as be participate in more of the activities.

I've gone to the fair multiple times since moving to San Diego and it always surprises me how big…read moreit is! The fun I have here varies year to year, but going on event specific days helps make it better. The prices can get crazy depending on what you want to do. My guy and I tried out their unlimited ride pass this year and it was definitely worth it! We had lots of fun and got to try a bunch of the rides. Every time I go, I find one stuffed animal I want to win so I can play some of the carnival games. I really wish it wasn't soo expensive to play the games because they're really fun! The Cherry Dole Whip and BBQ Chicken in a Pineapple are some of my fave food items to get!

I think it would be just as busy no matter what time you go. We had some great food, as always! Loaded barbacoa french fries and strawberries n creme funnel cake :p SO YUMMY Some changes were made with how you pay for rides n tickets. Everything is loaded on a card now, which for us was not ideal. We had 1 or 2 credits on there that ended up going to waste because the system is just not as flexible as before. Rides were all fun and the staff managing them were very nice & speedy ! My favorite ride year after year is CRAZY MOUSE! Definitely a fun time, hope to make it back again next year :)

Taco loco the fair coupon, so lame Not worth it…read moreGot three tacos barely any meat and tried the onions and jt was just more spice than flavor and people kept getting in front of the line and handing recit so they get their stuff before you. Wanted see monster trucks not enough advetised so missed their last showing Not really about fair but people. People cant multi task or task. Stopp right in middle of walking to look at their baby and stand near their stroller. Sad i couldnt find rabbits but i loved the live animals. Chickens and cows goats Had some bundle thing 40tickets Most rides cost 8 or so tickets Rode two rides with one other person and two by myself.

Carlsbad Village is a great place to walk, shop, and dine. It's quaint, clean, and…read morepedestrian-friendly, with a train station and plenty of crosswalks. The dining scene offers a wide range of options, and some recent favorites include: * Blue Ocean Robata & Sushi Bar * French Corner Cafe * Poki Poki Boba & Brewski * Pop Pie Co. * Shoots Fish and Beer Just across the street is the beautiful Frazee Beach, one of several state beaches in Carlsbad. It features some wide sandy stretches and a great promenade that extends to Tamarack beach. What keeps the village from a 5-star rating? Parking, especially on warm weekends and Friday and Saturday nights. It's no easy feat finding parking anywhere close!

We enjoy going to this festival and buy great buys every year…read more Parking is always a nightmare. We know that going in. Plan to walk, a lot. If disabled then bring helpers because it's crowded and you gotta go a far distance. Melanie's Collectables 760-218-8992 Handmade hats, tye dye clothing. Got 4 $20 tie dye dresses WITH POCKETS one year and this last year same vendor had a super cool tie dye button up I got. $25 bucks! Thank you for keeping decent prices. Daughter got a faded stressed shirt that is so soft. My tie dye button up is even softer cotton. Seriously it's my most comfortable shirt. And the dresses get compliments every time I wear them and I wear them A LOT. so thank you!!!!!! The macarons (sp?) Matched my nails! How fun!!!! And more importantly delicious!!! Also decent priced at $2.50. 3D printer guy was nice and informative. Son got a huge T. rex and daughter got a block fidget thing. Shroom pants were expensive but they are expensive every place I've seen them. Daughter loves them. Me too! Didnt see anything worth eating. Just the colorful treats. That's it.

Over the years we've come to the strawberry festival and we tend to come a little later in the day…read more& after the run event takes place. But how fun for those who do participate in that part of the event. I'd have to say this year they had a fantastic turnout, from the marketing, and the business being true to the strawberry theme. Being that the majority of the business, that had a pop up there, had some sort of strawberry something or other to be sold. Many people came in theme too ~~ with their very creative outfits. I especially loved that! And if you didn't come in theme you had lots of options to buy something and join in on the berry fun of it all. You can see in the photos that I posted just some of the things that we enjoyed. I like to sample and then circle back to buy if I can't stop thinking about something I spotted or tried. We took some cards and also followed some on their social medias in order to revisit supporting them at a later date. *Only qualm is people's impatience and driving erratically nearby & the fight or flight mode that kicks in because of issues with getting just the right parking spot. And one that's close enough to the event no less! We finally did get good parking karma tho. My Goodness! Overall it was a great event. It checked my boxes...if it has...Good food, Company, and Live music. I'm in!
