Summer ends with the
Orange International Street Fair this weekend

The Orange International Street Fair’s 2009 theme is “Music Makes the World Go Round”. The annual end-of–summer Labor Day Weekend (September 4-September 6) bash celebrates its’ 36th year since being the centerpiece of the City of Orange centennial celebration in 1972 as a recreation of a 1910 Orange International Fair. True to this year’s theme, dozen’s of bands will perform on nine stages thought the four block downtown Old Towne Orange Plaza traffic circle center representing music from around the globe. More than 50 community organizations dedicated to serving the Greater Orange Communities rely on the Orange International Street Fair as one of their biggest fundraisers of the year. The event draws half a million visitors over its three days.

Visitors from out-of- town are encouraged to avoid the parking crunch by taking the Metrolink (at reduced weekend rates) to the historic Orange Santa Fe (Metrolink/Amtrak) Depot conveniently located adjacent to the street fair. As always no pets are allowed and wristbands for public alcohol consumption are required. Those wishing to brave the parking drama may try the Chapman University lots.
