NJ Street Fairs are back for 2026 – See the latest schedule

It may still be winter, but warm thoughts are on the minds of everyone in New Jersey. And now that 2026 is officially here, events are slowly being confirmed all throughout the Garden State.

For New Jersey, one of those staples are our annual street fairs. Not only do they come back every year, they've become part of what makes New Jersey so unique.

Think about it for a moment. What other state in the country hosts more than two dozen of these events where you don't have to take a day trip just to visit and enjoy?

That's largely thanks to the shear number of downtowns our little state has. It's really one of the best perks of living here in the Garden State.

And although each street fair may be a little different from the next (it is what makes them great, after all), they do all have a few things in common. Craft vendors, amazing food, activities for the kids, music, and so much more.
