Mira Mesa Street Fair 2008 was a success! The 10th annual street fair had it all, from outstanding bands and entertainers to a wide variety of food and merchandise booths for all to enjoy. Many local banks and credit unions were there to answer questions about the current state of our economy and investment opportunities.

Carl DeMaio, Brian Maienschein, and Mayor Jerry Sanders were also present, as well as representatives from the Mira Mesa Town Council, Mira Mesa Chamber of Commerce, Lions Club, Women’s Club, and various local churches and organizations. There were rides for the kids, huge construction trucks from Vulcan Materials, and Marvin Miles from Property Gallery had his Classic Woodie on display.

The Street Fair, hosted by the Mira Mesa Town Council and their Street Fair Committee, did a fine job presenting this event. The success was due to the help from the countless volunteers and community leaders committed to bringing this day in the sun to our local community. Especially all the Mira Mesa High School Volunteers in those brite blue shirts that were present to lend a hand setting up the tents, handing out fliers, and directing traffic. A good time was had by all. Here’s to next year being even bigger and better!

The 10th annual Mira Mesa Street Fair will take place on Saturday, Sept. 27th, from 10 AM to 4:30 PM, on Camino Ruiz between Mira Mesa Boulevard and New Salem. More than 100 crafters, businesses, non-profit groups, and food vendors will have booths at the event. The Street Fair will feature an expanded Fun Zone with rides for children and teens, and continuous entertainment on two stages.  There will be special attractions such as earth-moving equipment, military vehicles from MCAS Miramar and a demonstration of K-9 dogs in action. Vulcan Materials will host a rock-painting booth for children to create their own “rock art.”

MCAS Miramar is scheduled to supply armored vehicles along with military personnel who will help kids climb up and into them. SDG&E will host a lamp and light bulb exchange, providing compact fluorescent bulbs for the less energy efficient incandescent bulbs and halogen torchiere lamps. Entertainment will be hosted by Ray Pinnock AKA DJ Undaground. See the flyer for this year’s Street Fair and pictures of previous Street Fairs below.
