More Information

We have one stage planned this year on Saturday, October 10, 2026. It will be located near the middle of the Fair at 1st Avenue and M Street.  

The stage will feature live entertainment from the local volunteer entertainers shown above. The musical fare is chosen for its variety and local appeal. It’s a great way to hear some good music, while taking a break from shopping and enjoying the booths!

Music starts at 10:30 a.m. shortly after the Children’s Parade. Each band plays for a little over one hour. The Avenues Street Fair does not pay any of our  entertainers and we do not charge our entertainers any fees.

We provide the speakers and amplification equipment, and sound management from Sound Express, We provide a canopied stage, and a space where are performers can drop off gear and instruments near the stage.

Our Street Fair committee will keep in touch with performers between now and the Fair on October 10th. We invite everyone to attend and enjoy the entertainment! 

Below are photos of past performers and our typical stage setup. We will promote all our 2026 performers on our web page and social media, and provide you a space where you may sell your merchandise during the time you are performing and takedown time after your session.  We will provide you, upon request to our sound manager Raj Harrous of Sound Express, digital copy of your performance at our event.
