This year’s event will be held on September 29th and 30th of 2007 and will span six blocks of Adams Avenue with over 300 Food and Arts & Craft Vendors, 3 beer gardens, giant carnival rides, family activities and over 70 live music performances on seven stages. Performing musicians at the 26th Annual Adams Avenue Street Fair will be from within the City of San Diego, throughout the region as well as nationally renowned musicians. Visitors will enjoy a variety of music, including blues, roots-rock, rock, world, alt, , reggae, zydeco, alt-country and acoustic.
