Drawing 20 – 30,000 attendees from surrounding cities, like Eloy, Arizona City, Coolidge, and Maricopa — Casa Grande Main Street’s annual Street Fair hosted vendors, artisans, and car enthusiasts for two days of festivities in Historic Downtown Casa Grande.

Walking down 2nd Street, attendees could see a display of modern and classic cars stretching from Drylake Street to Sacaton Street all while enjoying live music and tasty treats from local food vendors.

Events like this have a way of bridging gaps, and they give residents and visitors, alike, an opportunity to commune for a shared interest. Parents can share their love and knowledge with their children, owners can share their experience, and through this the community is enriched.

“Ask him how he got that car,” a mother tells her shy young son.

The group have a conversation, and the owner smiles. He walks over and opens the driver’s door so the boy can take a seat and look inside.

“See, you could get one too with hard work and dedication.”

The family walks away, and the owner takes his seat next to his car. A moment was shared, and a memory is made.
