From its humble beginnings at Clay Park, the Rolando Street Fair has grown into a premiere community-based event in San Diego. On Sunday, March 19, the 25th annual festival will take place.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This year\u2019s event, taking place from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., will feature a variety of activities and amenities for guests of all ages. There will be free live music for everyone to enjoy, as well as more than 100 vendors selling clothes, jewelry, food and drinks.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Rolando Street Fair Producer Kirstin Broome is excited to appeal to a wide range of residents. \"\"<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s something for everyone at the street fair,\u201d Broome said. \u201cPeople really enjoy it. It\u2019s a great time to come out and spend time with your friends and family, your neighbors, and meet new people.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The beer garden will also make its return, putting a spotlight on local breweries.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Event will include music, food and fun for residents and visitors alike<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Corbin O\u2019Reilly, the owner of local BBQ and brew shop CorbinsQ and Tap Truck, is looking forward to stepping up the event in 2023.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m upping staff, equipment and our plan of attack so people can be ready to listen to great music and hang out in the beer garden,\u201d O\u2019Reilly said.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

For the younger guests, a kid\u2019s zone includes inflatables, games, arts & crafts and climbing walls. For $5, children can enjoy all the activities all day long.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

One of the other draws of the Rolando Street Fair are the variety of local businesses on display.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Jeanie Burkhardt sells homemade dresses and farmer\u2019s market bags among other items for the business LucysRoom. This marks the 10th year that they\u2019ve been a vendor for the Rolando Street Fair. Burkhardt expressed her enjoyment of the festival year-by-year. \"\"<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis community fair celebrates the character of the neighborhood of Rolando,\u201d Burkhardt said. \u201cLocals are gracious and those who have traveled to visit are charmed with the friendly vibe. The music stage is the heartbeat of the festival as there is usually a fantastic blend of blues and funk.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Five local bands will perform live music this year: Buck-O-Nine, Kid Tributes, Lady Dottie & the Diamonds, Sara Petite and The Sleepwalkers. The bands will play throughout the festival, from 10:15 a.m. to 6 p.m.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Even with all of the bells and whistles of the event, Rolando Community Council President Doug Lister reiterated the most important aspect of the street fair.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI always tell people that Rolando is a great place to live because we got all these things,\u201d Lister said. \u201cBut when it comes down to it we wouldn’t have any of these things if we didn\u2019t have incredible people.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
