You can contact Mort & Ray productions. Google them and you can get their info, as I recall they are in the 1600’s on Broadway. They do must of the fairs on the UWS. They with the 24 precinct community council sponsor the April 28th fair. The proceeds of that fair allow the purchase the 24 to buy school supplies for local students and do the annual Christmas toy party and giveaway for each year

Why so many street fairs on Broadway? Isn’t one street fair for 72nd St to 96th St enough!!

Julie,
I think it’s because when the street fairs on on Broadway, they can use just one side and keep the other open, so it’s less disputing to the traffic flow.

How does that make it less disrupting if either side runs in only one direction? You’re cutting off traffic and forcing drivers to find alternate routes that are not efficient.

If one drives a non-passenger vehicle and has to travel south, the only legal streets are Broadway and Columbus.

People will complain about anything, right Julie?

Will having a street fair 4 blocks away from you on a Sunday really make your life that much worse?

How about let’s enjoy something that brings tourists and neighbors some interaction and even maybe some (gasp) joy.

NYC10023 – Living on West 74 Street between West and Broadway, having 2 street fairs 2 weekends in a row (5/25 and 6/2) at the end of my block is an inconvenience.We have enough traffic with out-of-neighborhood people double-parking and illegally parking while visiting Fairway. Why does this happen every year? Isn’t there anyone who can stand up to Rick & Morty (yes – I said Rick & Morty, who I would bet never have street fairs at the end of their blocks)?

At some point whomever is being paid off to let these lame street fairs continue, should be revealed.
There is absolutely no reason to have it on one side of Broadway one week, and then have the same exact fair on the other side of Broadway 2 weeks later.
Community board members please stop this madness.
One fair, one side of Broadway once a year, should be the limit…who will sign this petition?

What about the marvelous (more “local”) street fair that is traditionally on Columbus Ave in September, that runs from the 60s to 86th? Is the above fair list only for one organizer applicant, and there are others yet to come before the board? I would think the reporter would include the applicant and other pertinent info, not just a list of dates. To have CB approval, there had to be an application. By whom?

They tend to be “junk fairs” with overpriced and mediocre food. Enough already.

Thanks for the list! The one for Broadway, West 65th – 72nd W is listed as 6/21/19, but that’s a Friday. Was it a typo and supposed to be 7/21 or 6/23?
