Village Faire Brings Tens of Thousands to Carlsbad Village For One-Day Event

Days before tens of thousands descend on the Village of Carlsbad for the bi-annual Village Street Faire, work got underway to spruce up a side wall next to the vacant lot at the corner of State Street and Carlsbad Village Drive.

Faire Day brought out all types, and one that was enjoyed by all who heard him was this fiddler, sitting curbside on Madison Street, leisurely playing his favorite tunes.

The day was simply perfect. The heat was kept at bay, sun and blue sky prevailed through most of the afternoon, and everyone seemed to enjoy what has been dubbed, America's Largest One Day Street Fair!

Local sculpting artist, Lynn Forbes, was on hand, doing what she does best! Lynn and her husband have opened a sculpting gallery in the Village Faire Shopping Centre.

And, what's a Village Faire without the food? There was plenty in the food court, which is in the same location as the Carlsbad Farmers' Market on Wednesdays and Saturdays. The tri-tip barbecue sandwiches have become nearly tradition for anyone who regularly attends the twice yearly event.
