Fall Festival

Premier Holiday Shopping and Entertainment Tradition

EVERY NOVEMBER, for two decades, the Downtown Encinitas MainStreet Association has played host to a premier street fair – The Fall Festival. This festival, previously known as the Poinsettia Festival, is a readymade bazaar for holiday shoppers and weekend fun seekers. This year, on Sunday, November 21, from 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m., fair-goers will enjoy a day where coastal breezes meet people gathering to shop, eat, be entertained and enjoy the community’s Historical district. The festival will feature over 450 vendor booths showcasing various arts, crafts, gifts, food and more. The 200 shops and 40 restaurants and eateries along the Coast Highway from D to J Streets will be open and ready for business. Live music will be playing at two venues; The Lumberyard Courtyard Stage, located at the Lumberyard Center, Community Stage, close to F Street, which will feature the best in local entertainment.

This year some of the Lumberyard merchants have come together to offer their goods in the south parking lot of the Lumberyard (from Magical Child to Lumberyard Tavern & Grill).  It will offer even more to our holiday shoppers. Poinsettias will also be for sale at this location.

The Coast Highway 101 will be closed from D Street to J Street starting at 6:00 a.m., however many parking facilities will be available for the event within a short walking distance; Moonlight Beach Parking Lot; City Hall Parking Lot on Vulcan Ave.; NCTD Coaster Station Lot at D or E Streets and Vulcan Ave
