South Park\u2019s 14th annual Old House Fair is set for June 16, with additional attractions added this year for new and returning visitors alike. Since its inception, the free, daylong fair is an iconic destination for old house lovers in San Diego, attracting between 2,000 and 2,600 visitors annually.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis Fair is for people who live in, enjoy visiting or otherwise just like, old homes,\u201d said Marsha Smelkinson, assistant director of the Old House Fair.<\/p>\n

Los asistentes tendr\u00e1n m\u00faltiples oportunidades de visitar casas y edificios hist\u00f3ricos en South Park, Golden Hill y Burlingame, incluida una visita guiada a pie gratuita. Los participantes pueden caminar o andar en bicicleta por el vecindario y ver el exterior de m\u00e1s de 25 casas hist\u00f3ricas.<\/p>\n

A narrated trolley tour will also be available every hour starting at 11:30 a.m., and will take riders through South Park and the neighboring areas for $5.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo somos la \u00fanica ciudad del pa\u00eds que tiene una feria de casas antiguas, pero el nuestro es un evento muy divertido porque es gratis... y es una hermosa oportunidad de ver cosas y disfrutar el d\u00eda en la ciudad\u201d, dijo Smelkinson.<\/p>\n

Other fair activities include live music and vendor booths, along with the newly added foodie expo, where people can learn about kitchen, cooking, dining and other food trends.<\/p>\n

La feria tambi\u00e9n contar\u00e1 con contratistas y artesanos que se especializan en restaurar casas antiguas, disponibles para ofrecer informaci\u00f3n a los propietarios con consejos sobre c\u00f3mo preservar y arreglar sus residencias antiguas, as\u00ed como oportunidades para hablar con expertos en vecindarios hist\u00f3ricos y casas antiguas. .<\/p>\n

For many, a highlight of the fair is the $20 Historic Home Tour, featuring docent-led visits to six homes. Ticket-holders will get the opportunity to walk through the homes and learn their architectural features and historical backgrounds. The homes chosen are different each year, and this year visitors get to see two landscaped gardens as well: one adjacent to the canyon on the east side of Balboa Park, and one overlooking the Balboa Park golf course.<\/p>\n

Los asistentes tambi\u00e9n ver\u00e1n edificios m\u00e1s antiguos que no est\u00e1n clasificados como viviendas, incluidas visitas guiadas a lo que alguna vez fue la Estaci\u00f3n de Bomberos #9, ubicada en 2211 30th St. El edificio de la estaci\u00f3n de bomberos m\u00e1s antiguo de San Diego, el edificio est\u00e1 celebrando su 100 aniversario y ha sido reformado como gimnasio y oficinas.<\/p>\n

South Park Business Group (SPBG) patrocina la Feria, que sirve para recaudar fondos para proyectos de embellecimiento de vecindarios. Otros patrocinadores importantes incluyen Station Tavern y South Bark Dogwash.<\/p>\n

Sam Chammas, owner of the Station Tavern and the Whistle Stop Bar located in South Park, is a member of the SPBG and said the group sponsors the event because they appreciate architecture. \u201cIt\u2019s the?variety of beautiful, old homes in South Park that make it so special,\u201d he said, calling the event a \u201cgreat showcase\u201d for the neighborhood.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you like how the Walkabouts showcase South Park’s shops and restaurants, you’ll like?how Old House Fair?showcases the great homes and features.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Station won a Grand Orchid award for Architecture in 2009 from the San Diego Architecture Foundation, which Chammas said connected his restaurant to the \u201cdiverse architectural fabric\u201d of South Park. \u201cIt’s our way of? giving back, too,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
