Delights Of 10th Annual New Rochelle Street Fair On Tap This Sunday

NEW ROCHELLE, NY — Few places usher in the fall season with the verve on display at the New Rochelle Street Fair. If you haven't stopped by the festivities over the past decade, make plans to be there this weekend, or else you'll have to wait another year to see for yourself what all the fuss is about.

The 10th Annual New Rochelle Street Fair will be held this Sunday, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. around City Hall, and promises to be a day of "excitement, entertainment and celebration for all." This year, the New Rochelle Industrial Development Agency (IDA) is the presenting sponsor.

For the past ten years, the New Rochelle Street Fair has provided an opportunity for families, friends and neighbors to come together in a joyous atmosphere, and the organizers say that this year's event is set to surpass expectations.

Around 200 vendors will line both sides of North Ave., between Winthrop Avenue and Fifth Avenue, with an extended section on Hamilton Avenue to Beaufort Place. Attendees will be able to enjoy live performances, giant inflatables, a bubble bus, a mobile video game bus, crafts, great food, and the beloved beer garden sponsored by Beechmont Tavern.

The fair is a partnership between the City of New Rochelle, New Rochelle Parks & Recreation, the New Rochelle Downtown BID, the Chamber of Commerce, and Volunteer New York. Additional co-sponsors include Aetna, Sustainable Westchester, the Beechmont Tavern, Montefiore New Rochelle and News 12.

"We're truly excited to celebrate a decade of the New Rochelle Street Fair. This event has grown into a cherished tradition that brings our community together in the spirit of fun and togetherness, while highlighting many local and small businesses," City Manager Kathleen Gill said. "Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, this year's fair promises to be the most spectacular one yet."
