Local Flavor, Art, and Family Fun at the Escondido Street Festival

The Escondido Street Festival is back and ready to take over Historic Downtown Escondido with a full day of shopping, live music, food, drinks, and family-friendly entertainment!

This long-running springtime celebration is one of the largest events in the city and North County’s most beloved street fair.

Escondido Street Festival

Shop, Eat, and Celebrate Local

Since its debut in 1989, the Escondido Street Festival has grown into a vibrant community event that attracts thousands of visitors each year.

Stroll Grand Avenue and discover hundreds of vendors offering everything from handcrafted jewelry and local art to home goods, succulents, pet accessories, and artisan soaps.

This year’s lineup includes:

  • Retail & craft vendors with handmade goods, gifts, décor, and more
  • International food booths offering Thai, Filipino, African, BBQ, desserts, and tons of vegan-friendly bites
  • Live professional music at multiple stages, plus a dedicated community stage
  • Beer & wine garden for 21+ sips in the sunshine
  • Art in the Garden—an intimate juried show celebrating local artists
  • Kids’ zone with activities, crafts, and interactive fun for the whole family

See you there!

Whether you’re coming to support local makers, dance to live tunes, or sample flavors from around the globe, this is the kind of street fest that turns a Sunday into a memory.
