Encinitas Fall Street Fair is this Sunday November 22, 2009 in Downtown Encinitas California

The annual Encinitas Fall Street Fair will be held this Sunday, November 22, 2009 in the downtown area from 9 until 4 pm. As we are getting closer to the holidays this is a terrific opportunity to get your holiday shopping done. 

Downtown Encinitas California

The Encinitas Fall Street is very popular, and as an annual event for two decades, folks have come to known that this festival is the place to be the weekend before Thanksgiving, just 3 blocks from the ocean in the heart of downtown. 

The Encinitas Fall Street Fair is large, with over 450 vendors scattered along main street (the Coast Road/101) with arts, crafts, plenty of food. You can also visit the 200 or so shops along the route or dine in one of the 40+ restaurants between D and J Streets. They will have live music at The Lumberyard (the large shopping strip mall to the South) and at a Community Stage set up by F Street. My favorite local latin music band, Luna Llena, will be playing from 1:30 - 3:30. 

The main road will close beginning at 6 but there is plenty of parking along the side streets as well as parking lots including the one at the Coaster Station just 1 block over from the Coast Road (why not take the train?). 

To learn more, visit the Downtown Encinitas MainStreet Association 101 website. Or jus stop by on Sunday - I'll be there in the early PM before heading over to a Brazilian Jazz Concert (the second annual) at the Encinitas Public Library at 2:00.

There isn't really too much to say, since the real fun was in the looking...at dozens of classic cars from all over Southern California lined up along the Coast Road/Route 101 in downtown Encinitas.

A classic band playing Beach Boy songs (Little Deuce Coupe for example - a You-tube playlist video) and other vintage car songs at the Smog Center entertained folks throughout the evening.

There was a good crowd on both sides of the street taking in these beautiful autos and talking to their owners, the traffic in town was a mess, the weather was balmy, and it was a perfect evening to stroll downtown Encinitas and enjoy the event and the shopping and restaurants.

The photos of the cars really say it all, and I was only able to see a portion of all that was there. Enjoy the photos!
