Larchmont Fair is coming to town
FAIRGOERS strolled the Boulevard during 2023’s Larchmont Family Fair.
The 59th Larchmont Family Fair comes to the Boulevard this Sun., Oct. 27, from noon to 5 p.m. Gather the family together, bring a friend or simply stroll along with other locals at this fun fall event.
Activities will include bounce houses, rides, slides, bungee swings, a rock wall, a children’s costume contest and a small train parents can ride with their kids and that will keep the young crowd happy. Adults and children can enjoy some classic carnival games as well as musical entertainment by The Eight One Eights, soul singer Mijan Owens and the Black Canyon Band. Keeping in line with the fair’s last two years, a beer garden will open at noon featuring the beers of Downtown Los Angeles brewery Audio Graph Beer Co.
Boulevard closed to traffic
Local studio, Sophie Dance, will be performing, and nonprofit booths will replace cars on the street, as Larchmont Boulevard will be closed to traffic from Beverly Boulevard to First Street all day.
Many local businesses will remain open, and the Larchmont Village Farmers’ Market will be in its usual spot in the city parking lot at the Wilshire Rotary clock tower.
Fairgoers also will be able to stop by participating stands and food trucks to enjoy foods from around the world, such as pupusas, Hawaiian chicken and hibachi.
The Larchmont Family Fair started in the 1960s as a small neighborhood event, but it has grown. Fair organizers estimate that last year’s fair was attended by more than 10,000 people. It is by far the Boulevard’s largest event of the year.
Produced by the Larchmont Boulevard Association (LBA), the fun-filled afternoon brings neighbors together while also serving as a fundraiser to aid the LBA in Boulevard upkeep, holiday décor and more.
Admission to the event is free, but rides and food will require payment.
Children of all ages who want to participate in the costume contests, which begin at 12:30, should check for their age group’s time at the stage area at 12:15.
