Saturday, May 16th from 10-7 & Sunday, 17th from 10-6, 2009!"The U District Street Fair is the kick-off event for the festival season in the Seattle region. It is also the longest running street festival in the nation! Self-described as "country fair meets urban retail corridor", the Street Fair attracts more than 50,000 people and over 300 craft and food booths to the District on the third weekend of May each year. The Street Fair is an energetic and exciting celebration of arts and crafts, community information, music, and food."
It was a beautiful, sunny weekend for this years fair. Not as blazing hot as Street Fair, 2008 . It was every bit as crowded though. Shoulder to shoulder up many parts of the Ave. A lot of great street musicians and a couple of freak shows. What bugged me were the morons who brought their dogs. Note to dog owners: a densely packed street fair is NO PLACE for dogs on leashes. Leave the dog at home.
Here is a 3 minute 39 second slide show with a few of the highlights...
