21st Annual Palos Verdes Street Fair and Music Festival

The Palos Verdes Peninsula Chamber of Commerce and City of Rolling Hills Estates will present the 21st Annual Palos Verdes Street Fair and Music Festival on Saturday, May 31 from 10am to 10pm and on Sunday, June 1 from 10am to 9pm on Crossfield and Indian Peak Drives in Rolling Hills Estates.


New this year, the Fair is 'going green' with eco-friendly goods and vendors and interactive demonstrations on ways to reduce energy, water usage, and save money offered by the South Bay Energy Savings Center and Waste Management.  The Conservation Corps, Waste management and the Girl Scouts will operate the event 'green' by recycling waste. 

With more than 200 Arts and Craft booths, carnival rides for all ages, continuous Live Entertainment on two stages, an International Food Court and Beer Garden, a Children's Petting Zoo and Art Walk exhibition, police and fire department displays, and the popular 'Top Dogs' Show, the Fair promises to be fun for everyone.

Proceeds from the fair support Chamber scholarships and environmental groups.  Partial list of major sponsors include the City of Rolling Hills Estates, Trump National Golf Course, Fidelity Investments LA/South Bay, Waste Management, Equinox Fitness Center, Cafe Ceramic, and Aussie Petmobile.
