Lodi Street Faire (May 2025)

The Lodi Street Faire is one of the premier events in the State, attracting vendors from throughout California. The Street Faire takes up a 14-square block area of downtown Lodi. More than 300 vendors participate in this biannual event, selling antiques, arts & crafts, and retail items. While shopping, visitors can satisfy their appetite with their choice of food options serving everything from hamburgers to hot dogs, sausages to tri-tip, Mexican food, Chinese food, Filipino food, and otherworldly cuisine. Plus, no Faire is complete without sweet treats and cold drinks. So, bring the whole family for a day of shopping and fun!

There is a free parking garage located on Sacramento and Pine St. This fills up quickly with vendors early, so best to try street parking outside of barricades.
