Mesa Street FairMira Mesa Street Fair Saturday, September 25, 2010: The 12th annual Mira Mesa Street Fair will be held on Saturday, Sept. 25th, 2010 from 10 AM to 4:30 PM on Camino Ruiz between Mira Mesa Boulevard and New Salem Street. We are expecting more than 100 crafters, businesses, non-profit groups, and food vendors to have booths at the event. Hosted by the Mira Mesa Town Council, the Street Fair features a carnival with rides for children and teens, and continuous entertainment on two stages. Special attractions will include large earth-moving equipment and military vehicles from MCAS Miramar. Vulcan Materials will again host a rock-painting booth for children to create their own "rock art." SDG&E will offer a lamp and light bulb exchange, providing compact fluorescent bulbs and floor or table lamps for the less energy efficient incandescent bulbs and halogen torchiere lamps. Friends of the Mira Mesa Library will hold their biggest book sale of the year. There will be stage performances of Filipino, Hawaiian, and belly dance, martial arts demos, and a variety of vocal artists and bands. Community stage entertainment will be hosted by Ray Pinnock aka DJ Undaground.

Street Fair History
The first Mira Mesa Street Fair was organized by the Town Council in 1999 and has now become a regular annual event on the last Saturday in September. The Mira Mesa Street Fair is completely organized and hosted by community volunteers. It has quickly earned a reputation as one of the best 'community fairs' in the county. The Street Fair committee is dedicated to maintaining the community atmosphere and minimizing the commercialization that has come with growth of many of the other events held around the county.
The Street Fair is held on Camino Ruiz, which is the North/South street next to the Mira Mesa Branch Library, and extends the entire block from New Salem to Mira Mesa Blvd. (Map). Enjoy a fun filled festival atmosphere that is the perfect mix of entertainment, food and exhibitors. Displays include Arts & Crafts vendors, local businesses and civic groups. Visit the Kid’s Zone and 2 community stages.
