The event will also commemorate the third anniversaries of several local businesses: The Montclair Bread Co., Le Salbuen Café and Market, Red Eye Café and Montclair B.A.B.Y.
According to a release, the annual fair was born from a group of local moms who met through a class at Montclair B.A.B.Y., and who were looking for ways to bring the local business community together.
