Saturday, August 1, 2026 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. North Park Way, from 29th St. to Ray St. All Ages | Free Admission The North Park Community Fair will be turning North Park Way into a big neighborhood treasure hunt. North Park residents and San Diego locals will be out to sell their gently worn clothing, stacks of books and records, vintage finds, home goods, collectibles, oddities, and those "why am I letting this go?" pieces that deserve a second life. Come stroll the block, connect with the local community, and find something you didn't know you were looking for! Interested in becoming a vendor? Market spaces are prioritized for North Park residents, with spots open to neighbors from the surrounding community as availability allows. All sellers must be willing to provide proof of residency if accepted. IDs will be checked upon arrival. This is not a vendor market. We are not looking for sellers, makers, or businesses; we're looking for neighbors with a pile of things that deserve a new home. If you're clearing out a closet, a bookshelf, a garage, or a storage unit and want to sell in the heart of your neighborhood, this is for you. Participation is not guaranteed. This is a curated neighborhood event and spots are limited. Apply here: https://forms.gle/AAUW5czuo8A7MJ186
