Additional parking can be found on residential streets. (Parking lots are not controlled by OISF, Inc)

However, we highly recommend ride sharing.

Chase and Wells Fargo have their ATMs closed during this time. Cash is king at the street fair so we highly recommend you stop by a nearby ATM to withdraw money – otherwise you can expect to pay a $4.95 convenience fee.

Children’s Area

Children’s Street is located on North Orange St. at East Chapman Ave. Children’s Street is geared towards the younger crowd. It features games, crafts, and snacks for purchase. OISF does not permit smoking, alcohol sales, or consumption on Children’s Street.

Tip: If you prefer to sit down at a restaurant to enjoy lunch, we recommend the Citrus City Grille. It’s delicious, great service and has an outdoor patio.

Many restaurants will be closed down during the street fair. Those open, including Kimmie’s, serve breakfast!
