street fairs

Outdoor vendor gatherings

Street fairs are outdoor community events where streets are closed to traffic and lined with vendors, food stalls, and entertainment.

They typically celebrate local culture, seasons, or holidays, drawing crowds to browse crafts, sample food, and enjoy live music: The neighborhood street fair had everything from kettle corn to handmade jewelry.
