The U District StreetFair is the kick-off event for the festival season in the Seattle region. It is the longest running street festival in the nation. Self-described as "country fair meets urban retail corridor", the StreetFair attracts 50,000 attendees and over 350 craft, food and information booths to the District on the third weekend of May each year. The StreetFair is an energetic and exciting celebration of arts and crafts, community, music, and food. You'll find a whirl of color and creativity.

Join us in 2012 and celebrate our 43rd annual Fair. There will be three main stages featuring music, dance performance, comedy and more, a special children's area with age appropriate events, a wonderful medley of street performers and much more. The unique local and regional arts & crafts and an array of international food will delight you. The StreetFair is a free event, located in the heart of the University District of Seattle on University Way NE, and is produced by the
Greater University Chamber of Commerce.
