Hi Festivalgoers, The news moves fast, and this weekend is no exception. We have an update to our earlier message: The street fair isn't cancelled — it's moving indoors! We’re bringing the street fair fun inside to the Festival Hub at 808 Commonwealth Ave. A couple of notes: We won't have the Kids Zone or Found vintage market this year due to the space constraints indoors. But you'll still get that cozy, fun vibe with live music and local vendors from noon to 6 p.m. Thanks for your flexibility and understanding. We're excited to see you today! See you soon, Andrea O'Meara
