Oh, yes, it’s street fair season. To us, the annual Fifth Avenue Fair in Park Slope is the real kick off the big fair season and, if the truth be told, it’s one of the handful that retain some neighborhood flavor. (Plus, there is a sunglass vendor that is always there that allows us to score a supply of cheap sunglasses for the summer as we lose and/or break a pair on the average of every three-four weeks. The Fifth Avenue Fair enables us to sail smoothly through Labor Day with a purchase of four pairs.) The fair run from 11AM to 7PM from Sterling Place to 12th Street. A lot of local shops and restaurants set up stands, so there’s competition for Lucy’s Sausage stands. There are kiddie rides and a stage over by JJ Byrne Park at Third Street as always. A flickr set from last year is here.
