YELLOW SPRINGS, OH – October 7, 2024 – The vibrant spirit of Yellow Springs will come alive at the annual October Street Fair on Saturday, October 12th, from 9 AM to 7 PM. With confirmed food vendors ready to serve and an exciting lineup of craft vendors, this year’s event promises to be a spectacular showcase of local talent and community spirit.

Attendees can enjoy a full day of entertainment at the Mills Park Hotel Stage, featuring local favorites like The Groove, Egyptian Breeze, and the lively sounds of Kyle Eldridge and the Kentucky Cowhands. At the John Bryan Community Center Stage, performances will include Charlie John, Africanicosa, and the energetic UNscripted Xperience, culminating in a night of high-energy music with MOJO Power.

This eagerly anticipated event not only brings joy to attendees but also significantly boosts the local economy, providing a platform for local businesses and visiting vendors. "It's truly wonderful to see the familiar faces of our community members at the booths and in the shops," said Phillip O'Rourke, Executive Director of the Yellow Springs Chamber. "There's something special about reconnecting with neighbors and friends, making Street Fair a colorful highlight twice a year!"

The independent vendor booths and local shops at the Yellow Springs Street Fair create an inviting pairing of community spirit, drawing both frequent and new guests. As some merchants showcase their goods outside, transforming the streets into a lively marketplace, the festival becomes a true celebration of local talent and camaraderie. The Yellow Springs Brewery adds to the local atmosphere in the Beer Garden, where dedicated non-profit volunteers serve as pourers for the day, fostering connections and enhancing the communal experience. Together, these elements highlight the rich, vibrant character of Yellow Springs and its commitment to supporting local businesses.

New this year, the Yellow Springs Street Fair will introduce the BUSKER STAGE, now open for registration. Buskers will add a unique and lively atmosphere to the streets, and the event aims to provide intentional public space for these talented performers to showcase their skills.

Visitors are encouraged not to miss the YS Street Fair Information Booth during the event for more details on the beer garden, vendor offerings, and the schedule of performances.
