The Avenues Street Fair is a very family friendly activity.

Every year, we have a Children's Parade to open the Fair, and a free all-day Children's Activity Area where the kids can engage in activities such as games, crafts, and face-painting. It is free for the children to participate! 

To participate in the parade, please gather at 11th Avenue and I Street at 8:45 a.m.   The Parade will start at 9:00 a.m. as the grand opening of the Fair, and will proceed westward on 11th Avenue to D Street. 

Costumes are welcome, as are pets on a leash, scooters, wagons, bicycles (no motorized vehicles), parents, grandparents, relatives, and musical instruments! 

The Children's Activity Area will be in the wide, shaded, driveway on the North Side of 11th Avenue between F and G Streets at 473-475 11th Avenue. 

Look for the big trees and the tall column of balloons at the entrance of the Children's Activity Area!
