Visit the state’s second largest street fair in downtown Escondido tomorrow from 9am till 5pm!  The Faire is sponsored by the Escondido Chamber of Commerce and the Downtown Business Association. More than 60,000 people converge to check out the 600 unique vendors, who have a little of everything: arts and crafts, home improvement area, unique clothing, food from around the world, and more.  

Children’s rides, animal demonstrations by the San Diego Wild Animal Park, and an old-fashioned pancake breakfast guarantee that you’ll find fun for the whole family!

The twice-a-year event, which has taken place each May and October since 1988, typically attracts as many as 60,000 people to Grand Avenue from Centre City Parkway to Ivy Street. The fair is expected to provide a boost to the many downtown businesses still struggling from the recession.

The weather is expected to be nearly perfect for the fair, according to forecaster Dan Apkin of the National Weather Service office in Rancho Bernardo. There will be some low clouds and fog in the morning, but they will give way to sunny skies and temperatures in the 70s during the afternoon, he said.

The fair will run from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., a change that began in October. Organizers said the previous schedule of 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. was unpopular because crowds had to be sent home before they dissipated. But an attempt to have the fair run from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. failed because crowds were sparse after 6 o’clock, organizers said.
