Bi-annual Street Faire this Sunday in Lodi

Are you in the mood for Lockeford sausages, kettle corn and shaved ice? When is the last time you shopped for gourmet dog treats, Egyptian art or all-terrain vehicles?

Those items are just a selection of what can be found among at least 675 booths at Sunday's Street Faire in downtown Lodi.

The all-day event is free and open to the public, and parking is also free.

The bi-annual Street Faire is held every May and October along School and Church streets from Lockeford Street to Lodi Avenue, including side streets. Roads are closed to all vehicles.

By Friday afternoon, 675 vendors had signed up to sell their wares, up from 635 vendors at the last faire, said Sandy Somers with the Lodi Chamber of Commerce.

Many of the popular repeat vendors will be in attendance, selling everything from T-shirts to lawn decorations to antiques. New booths this year are selling such items as Australian "down under" hats, Thailand imports, antique deviled egg plates, biker apparel and diaper cakes — and even Somers wasn't quite sure what constitutes a diaper cake, though she expects to find out Sunday.

Food vendors sell treats ranging from ice cream to pizza, and new vendors include deep-fried peanuts, cheese steaks and cookies.

The event runs from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. For those traveling from out of town, take the Turner Road exit off Highway 99 or Interstate 5, then turn south on Church Street. Parking along side streets is free, and more free parking is available in the structure located on Sacramento Street between Elm and Pine streets.
