The Larchmont Family Fair returns for its 60th year with rides and fun for all ages on Sun., Oct. 26 from noon to 5 p.m. on Larchmont Boulevard. The Boulevard will be closed to traffic between Beverly Boulevard and First Street.
The street fair will feature a children’s costume contest, rides, live music, and cuisine from around the world. Booths will be set up by schools, churches, and nonprofits.
Jane Gilman, co-founder of the fair, (and co-founder of the Larchmont Chronicle), will be honored at the Fair.
Romi Cortier, president of the Larchmont Boulevard Association (LBA), is asking friends and neighbors to share stories of themselves and their families in regards to the fair as part of a tribute to Gilman. To have your comments or stories included in the tribute, reach out to Cortier at romicortier@yahoo.com.
Also planned is a photo booth near Tailwaggers. Beer, wine and wine spritzers will be poured at a bar outside La Bettola di Terroni restaurant. The Larchmont Village Farmers’ Market will be open in its usual spot in the Village parking lot, fair organizer Melissa Farwell said.
Businesses, schools and groups from both down the street to far and wide can apply to have a booth at the fair.
All non-profit groups are invited to rent a booth for games, merchandise, or entertainment, and can keep all proceeds for their charitable organization.
“With an estimated 10,000 visitors, the Larchmont Family Fair is an excellent opportunity to raise awareness and funds for your organization,” Frère said.
To inquire about school or nonprofit booths, email Frère at info@landisstationery.com.
To inquire about having a food booth, reach out to Farwell at larchmontboulevardfamilyfair@gmail.com.
The deadline to apply for nonprofit booths that require a health permit is Mon., Sept. 15. The deadline for all other booths is Wed., Oct. 15.
The Fair has been a staple of the area since it began as a small-town event in the mid- 60s.
