Eight blocks of downtown El Segundo will shut down to traffic Saturday, Sept. 26, when the Kiwanis Club of El Segundo hosts its 34th annual Main Street Fair, a daylong festival that regularly draws more than 3,000 visitors to browse art, eat and listen to live music.
The fair runs 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and fills Main Street with 180-plus artist and craft booths, a food court, street vendors, a Kids Zone and a Nicol Compass-sponsored beer garden, according to the Kiwanis Club. Two stages keep music going all day: the LAWA-sponsored Main Stage and the BeachLife Stage, both featuring local performers whose names have not yet been announced.
School groups, nonprofits and local sports teams also set up at the fair. Proceeds go to children's programs in El Segundo and neighboring South Bay communities, continuing a mission the club has carried since its founding in 1929.
Vendor registration for the 2026 fair is now open.
Prospective vendors can review a map from last year's layout on the Kiwanis website and direct questions to [email protected]. Sponsorship opportunities are listed at elsegundokiwanis.org/main-street-fair-sponsors.
The fair joins a busy fall calendar for the South Bay. Fiesta Hermosa returns Saturday, Sept. 5 with 250 vendors and four stages in Hermosa Beach.
