One of the most popular areas within the city is the Carlsbad Village. Since 1975, Carlsbad Village has been home to one of the largest street fairs in the United States – the Carlsbad Village Street Faire.
Each year, the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce hosts the faire in May and November. Now in its 50th year, the free event has grown to be so popular that it not only continually attracts people from all over Southern California, but also from other states. Some visitors even plan their vacations around the bi-annual event.
Upcoming Faires:
May 5, 2024, 8 AM – 5 PM
November 3, 2024, 8 AM – 4 PM
The Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with Kennedy & Associates have hosted the event for over 45 years, and it has grown year over year.
