48th Annual 4TH AVE Spring Street Fair

From 48th Annual 4TH AVE Spring Street Fair Website:

The Fourth Avenue Street Fair, recognized as one of the premier community celebrations in the Southwest, is held biannually in the gorgeous Sonoran Desert community of Tucson, Arizona.

We invite you to participate in this 48-year-old tradition which, attracts more than 600,000 visitors each year. Our family-friendly event offers a moderate to upscale audience, 57% between the ages of 25-54. In addition to over 300 international artisans, we host entertainment stages, children's activities and tantalizing treats from 40+ food concessionaires. Admission to the festival is free and open to the entire community.

The mission of the Fourth Avenue Street Fair is to provide a community arts event, free to the public, with the highest quality artistic products and services. Selected by a skilled jury, our arts and craft fair is designed to attract a variety of high quality handmade art and fine crafts by artists from around the world. The artists' work is the focal point of the festival. The proceeds generated from the Fair directly support infrastructure and services in the Fourth Avenue Business District, surrounding neighborhood association enrichment projects and free special events for the citizens and visitors of Tucson's Historic Fourth Avenue.

The dates for the biannual Fourth Avenue Street Fairs are selected to enable artists to participate in two events on adjoining weekends. The Tempe Festival of the Arts occurs on weekends back-to-back with our Street Fair. This arrangement allows artists to attend both the Tempe and Fourth Avenue Fairs saving time and money.
