    I used to come to this street fair more often but now gravitate towards the Oside one on Thursday…read more Omgah, it's Thursday lol. But back to the review, please take time to go on the first week of May! There was around 500 vendors, I might be wrong but it was about six blocks full of fun things to be found. They do need some more things for men but then again, women are more in to shopping as a collective. If you love jewelry, small business finds, and food, it's definitely something I will be coming back for. I can't wait to go next year and replenish my earring collection. Recently started to collect them! We also had the most amazing freakin cake!!!! OMGAH!!!! I promise, if you like a cake that isn't dry, even a coffee cake that isn't dry, this company is worth ordering from! I am going to be ordering some yummy gifts for people in the future. It's called Dolce Monachelli's they do have a website and it's the best Bundt cake you will ever have. They have a cute sampler you can always get as a gift bc I will be gifting with these cakes! I think this is the best cake I've ever had! Sorry I don't have picks of the cake lol it was just too good and I forgot.

    It's like a regular for us now on a Thursday night. The early evening when the sun is starting to…read moreset. That's when the town becomes lively. Everyone's out in the pool during the day time and downtown is quiet. But come sundown, it's brings everyone out. It's nice that the city has the night market set up. Streets of course are blocked off for all the vendors to set up their goods. Parking situation, there's all the public lots both covered and uncovered. Street parking is available as well. I feel like each time I come, the vendors come and go. They tend to be at the same spot which maybes a reserved spot they put in. But each time, it either has less vendors or there's more added. Of course you have the regulars at their usual spot. This week, the stage wasn't there right in the middle of the walk. Also not many live music performances. There were your few one man show but haven't seen the school bands lately. Plus it seems like there were more food vendors this time. I could be wrong or just haven't been paying attention but the smell of everything was amazing. It's a good way to bring people out to downtown on a Thursday night. Slightly cooler in a sense...lol... It's still hot but that's when people are out and about when sunset comes which is nice as they can walk the street and check out all the local vendors.

    Great vibes, nice setup with the music playing at different points on the walk, well organized,…read morelots of cute vendors and most shops were open for business and very friendly despite the chaos of the large influx of people. Very fun evening out.

    Once a year, usually on the third Saturday of September, the city of München goes crazy…read more Once a year, we in the US try to copy our Bayern friends.... from Cincinnati Ohio to Fredericksburg Texas and now ... Temecula California. Europa Winery has caught the Wiesn fever. We came here last evening and enjoyed ourselves, along with a few hundred of our friends. The food was very good. Ron, the Executive Chef who worked for many years in the Bavaria city of Nürnberg, cooked up a storm. He served up Wurst, Brezel, Sauerbraten, Spätzle, Kartoffelsalat, Sauerkraut, Kartoffelpuffer, Schokoladenkuchen and lots of Bier und WeißWein (photos). Sehr lecker! Delicious! We sat in the Europa Village wine club tent C'est La Vie. Everyone was at communal tables of twelve, which made for lots of fun. Some of the guests even dressed up in genuine Dirndl and Lederhosen. Nice! Europa Village went all out. There was live music from an accordion player, who was really into it. We had fun imagining we were back in the Hacker-Pschorr and Spaten tents of our youth. As they use to say: "Lass dir raten, trinke Spaten!" We cannot wait until next year. Prost!

    I hate to write this review because I like Europa Village winery, but they dropped the ball so hard…read moreon this event, that I felt compelled to share. The event started with an unorganized entry where some showed tickets and other walked in without from a different direction. For the exaggerated fee, we were only given 1 twelve ounce beer and dinner. There was some tasting of German beer that you had to stand in a long line for otherwise. Dinner was chaotic at best. We missed out on most of the traditional food because it took us an entire hour to get through the food line. The DJ and accordion player played music and tried to get people dancing, but we were busy standing in line. When we went to get another beer to go with dinner, I was told they RAN OUT OF BEER! I think some people could be JAILED for running out of beer during an Oktoberfest. We finally ate and were ready to dance... The DJ abruptly said "good night folks" and shut it down. The whole event went 2 hours for $100 a ticket and half the time was in line for food. No "festival atmosphere, games, or anything else they promised" including bratwurst, sauerkraut and spicy mustard. So sad. So disappointed. So uncharacteristically Europa.

    A typical California farmers market with 60% fresh grown and local food, 30% arts & crafts and 10%…read morefood booth/trucks. This dynamic is welcomed to most people because they get to socialize and buy more then just fresh fruits and veggies. The only thing I am critical about is the organization of the booth space that allows the flow of people in better safety and comfort. I assume there was some store front push back that wanted 100% of there sidewalk available and clear surfing the market but what that has done has jammed too many people in what is obviously a "narrow space" to walk. It would be a fair and SAFE compromise to use 50% of the sidewalks on each side and adjust back the venders booths giving people 5 feet more in the middle to walk around. It would be easier to do this rather then assume or ask people to not stand around creating bottlenecks or be considerate of others and move like a car on a road. Expect to drive around for parking if you are not local enough to walk to the event and crowding due to the popular area it is in, live music, fresh foods and drinks as well as plenty of unique crafts and clothing.

    I was super excited to come here to check out the street fair! But it wasnt quite what i was…read moreexpecting. I feel like a lot of booths were from palm desert, so not necessarily local businesses from encinitas, and i felt like there were not a lot of arts n crafts n stuff like i was expecting. There werent a lot of food options, but luckily the food we had was great! I have to drive like 1.5-2 hours to get here so I probably wouldnt come again. It was a gorgeous day and fun to do once.
