The Carlsbad Village Street Faire returns this Sunday, Nov. 3, transforming downtown into a vibrant marketplace with over 800 vendors, international foods, and fun children’s rides. Hosted by the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce, this beloved community event runs from 8AM to 4PM., drawing tens of thousands of visitors. Expect several streets to be closed, and be mindful of pedestrians and cyclists as the Village fills with activity.

Hassle-Free Bike Valet

Skip the search for parking by riding your bike, e-bike, scooter, or skateboard and parking it at the complimentary bike valet. Here’s how it works:

• Check in at the valet station with an attendant from the San Diego County Bike Coalition, who will tag your ride for safekeeping.
• Enjoy the faire, knowing your wheels are secure.
• Pick up your ride by 4PM
