Metro TALK
A community service of the Greater Orange Communities Organization
ORANGE INTERNATIONAL STREET FAIR
Your Passport to the World is the theme for this year’s Orange International Street Fair. An estimated 500,000 “world travelers” are expected at the annual end of the summer Labor Day weekend bash. For some locals not caught up in the merry making it can be a difficult weekend (with many headed out of town). However, recognizing what a boost the event is to the Greater Orange Communities economy and the fact that over fifty organizations rely on the fair as their major fundraising event of the year may be of some comfort to those who sacrifice their weekend peace in Old Towne every year.
Official fair “passports” will be available at the International Street Fair Information Booth in the Plaza Area (the center Plaza Park will be fenced off to avoid damage) and fair organizers are encouraging the fair’s “world travelers” to get stamps from as many of the fair’s ethnic streets as possible. Aside form the multitude of food and drink booths, dozens of community organizations, from the Orange Hills Task Force (this maybe a somber booth) to the Orange County Republican Party are scheduled to participate.
The Orange International Street Fair is located where Glassell Street and Chapman Ave meet at the world famous Orange Plaza Traffic Circle. The fair runs Labor Day Weekend September 1st,2nd and 3rd: Friday 5 p.m.- 10 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Alcohol is legal for 21 and over with identification the purchased of a Street Fair Alcohol wristband (good for day of purchase only). Entertaining bands will play on stages throughout the fair with music from rock-n-roll, surf and reggae, to ethnic music from around the world. As always, entry to the Orange International Street Fair is free.
