The 11th annual Mira Mesa Street Fair on Saturday, Sept. 26th, 2009, offers family fun from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Camino Ruiz between Mira Mesa Boulevard and New Salem Street. More than 100 crafters, businesses, non-profit groups, and food vendors will have booths at the event.
Hosted by the Mira Mesa Town Council, the Street Fair will feature a carnival with rides for children and teens, and continuous entertainment on two stages. The food court will have an international flair, from Japanese BBQ, noodles and salads to Mediterranean gyros to all-American hot dogs and hamburgers.
Special attractions include large earth-moving equipment and military vehicles from MCAS Miramar. Vulcan Materials will host a rock-painting booth for children to create their own “rock art.” SDG&E will offer a lamp and light bulb exchange, providing compact fluorescent bulbs and floor or table lamps for the less energy efficient incandescent bulbs and halogen torchiere lamps. Friends of the Mira Mesa Library will hold their biggest book sale of the year.
Enjoy stage performances of Filipino, Hawaiian, and belly dance; martial arts demonstrations, and a variety of vocal artists and bands. Community stage entertainment will be hosted by Ray Pinnock of Strictly Rhythms Entertainment. The Street Fair features continuous entertainment on two stages, including the popular band Y3K as our closing act on the Vulcan Materials Music Stage.
There will be a dunking booth featuring several members from the Mira Mesa High School Boy’s Water Polo Team that will be taking one for the team throughout the day. Special celebrity targets will also take their turn in the dunk tank with proceeds to benefit the Water Polo Team. Who wouldn’t want to take a shot at their Coach, or possibly the Principal? You will have to show up and see.
For more information, please visit the Mira Mesa Town Council website. Put on your sunscreen, grab the whole family, and head out to the Heart of Mira Mesa for a fun day with your community, friends and family.

It was another great Mira Mesa Street Fair, and another hot one as well. I must say the best part for those who ran a booth during the fair were the VOLUNTEERS!!!!!Thank you all so much for your help in setting up the booths, lending an extra hand during the event, and helping to break down after a long day in the sun. You all were awesome, and if you didn’t hear it enough throughout the day, Thank You Once Again.

Man, I wish I could’ve gone to the street fair.
I left for boot camp on 22 SEP.
Heh. Maybe some other year, then.
