Orange Street Fair Tips
- Bring your ID if you plan to purchase alcohol.
- Bring cash for purchases.
- Wear comfortable, closed toed shoes for walking and protecting feet from spilled drinks.
- Wear sunscreen and hats during the day. It’s usually hot and shade is limited.
- Bring your own water – it is available for purchase, but avoid the extra cost if you can.
- Uber or Lyft to avoid the hassle of parking and drinking responsibly.
- Have a designated driver.
- Pets are not allowed except for service animals.
- Seating is limited and lawn chairs are not permitted.
- Local businesses will remain open at their discretion.
- Bring a stroller for little ones, even for those that are mostly done with strollers as there will be lots of walking and little seating.
- Larger strollers are difficult to navigate crowds.
- Get there early for the best parking and lighter crowds.
- Drinking and smoking increases as the day goes on. The earlier the better for families.
