The 33rd Annual Encinitas Street Fair, sponsored byScripps Health, returns to Downtown Encinitas on Saturday, April 23 and Sunday, April 24, 2016 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Coast Hwy 101 will be closed from D St. to J St., from 4 a.m. to 6 p.m., to make room for more than 450 vendors, plus a Beer Garden, three stages, a brand new Adventure Zone, and a Dog Zone, along this award-winning main street.

Due to popularity, there will be an extended Beer Garden on Saturday, open two hours longer, from noon to 7 p.m. Sunday’s hours will be the usual noon to 5 p.m. As always, the tasty brews on tap will be courtesy of Stone Brewing Company.

Five bands will rock the Beer Garden Stage, including theKarlos Paez Band (lead vocalist of the B*Side Players) and Ginger Roots & The Protectors (local reggae sensation). Meanwhile, five other acts will perform on The Lumberyard Courtyard Stage, including the ever-popular Bayou Brothers, while up-and-coming stars will entertain crowds at the Hansen’s Community Stage.

Thrill seekers can visit the newly added Adventure Zone at H Street, filled with summer camps, surf camps, scuba instruction, kayak lessons and other outdoor activities for all ages.

Canine companions get their own special treatment in the Dog Zone at I Street. They’ll find a variety of pet-centric exhibitors, plus free activities in the 2000 sq. ft. Dog Park.

The Encinitas Fire Department will kick things off with their Annual Pancake Breakfast on Saturday from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. in the 7-Eleven parking lot, at the corner of Hwy 101 and D St.
