Community Celebration in the Heart of Mountain View

The Mountain View Street Fair transforms the Mountain View neighborhood into a vibrant celebration of community spirit and local culture. This annual August tradition brings together residents and visitors for a day of family-friendly entertainment and neighborhood pride.

Local vendors line Mountain View Drive with handmade crafts, artwork, and specialty foods. From traditional Alaska Native crafts to modern artistic creations, the fair showcases the diverse talents of Mountain View residents and nearby communities.

Live music performances feature local bands, solo artists, and community groups performing on outdoor stages throughout the afternoon. Children's entertainment includes face painting, balloon artists, and interactive games that keep young families engaged for hours.

Food trucks and community booths offer everything from classic fair fare to ethnic specialties reflecting the neighborhood's diverse population. Local restaurants participate with special outdoor menus featuring their signature dishes.

Community organizations set up information booths highlighting local services, volunteer opportunities, and neighborhood improvement projects. The fair serves as an important gathering point for civic engagement and community building.

Free activities include a community art project where visitors can contribute to a neighborhood mural, guided walking tours of local historic sites, and demonstrations of traditional crafts and skills by local artisans.
