Along with Art on the Plaza, the Arlington Street Fair fills North Olympic Avenue in historic downtown Arlington with arts and crafts, commercial vendors, information and fun activities with local community groups, fair food and music, bouncy houses for kids and more. Presented by the Downtown Arlington Business Association, the street fair provides a break from the Fly-In for those who want to do a little shopping while enjoying free entertainment and activities. A complimentary shuttle runs from downtown to the Fly-In throughout the weekend.

Entertainment at the street fair includes an open mic from 4 to 6 p.m. Friday in Legion Park, followed by the Arlington Idol contest at 7 p.m. Registration starts at 6 p.m.

On Saturday, the day starts with Zumba. Country music by Knut Bell is featured from 2 to 3 p.m., and at 5:30 p.m. Shades of Purple perform the music of Bad Company. Cherry Cherry, a Neil Diamond tribute band, will perform on Sunday.

The street fair runs July 13 through 15, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday.
