Labor Day Street Fair
September 2, 2019 @ 10:00 am - 5:00 pm
The Borough of Rutherford has selected Cliffhanger Productions to produce its 44th Annual Labor Day Street Fair to be held Monday, September 2, 2019. The Street Fair runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Musical entertainment will be held at the Hutzel Memorial Band Shell in Lincoln Park starting at 11 a.m.
One of the most well attended street fairs in the state, visitors can expect to find over 250 vendors lining the streets, parks, and plazas featuring antiques, collectibles, and craft vendors from all over the East Coast.
Cliffhanger Productions will bring its signature brand of entertainment to the festival with many activities to entertain the kids while the parents shop. There will be many rides and amusements, a children’s stage, magic show, balloon artists, face painting, and variety of street performers.
Local restaurants will be out in force, along with some of the area’s non-profit groups that are planning food-related fundraising – all doing their part to make sure that festival goers can keep up their energy throughout the day.
Other area non-profits will have booths to provide information, engage in fundraising, and recruit volunteers.
