The Party Is On!

When I say, “Party!” you say, “Where?”  When I say, “Sherman Oaks” you say “The 23rd Annual Sherman Oaks Chamber Street Fair?”  Yes, you know the place because, more than likely, you have been there many times over the last twenty-two years.  The Sherman Oaks Chamber Street Fair, the Granddaddy of Community Festivals, draws so many visitors to a one-half mile stretch of Ventura Boulevard that it is an “officially designated Los Angeles City Regional Event”. 

This year, on Sunday, October 20, the Sherman Oaks Chamber of Commerce will transform a beautifully repaved and renewed section of Ventura Boulevard into an eclectic wonderland.   Josh Rubenstein, CBS Celebrity and Meteorologist, will serve as this year’s Grand Marshal.  And your Sherman Oaks Chamber will continue the strong relationship between education and business that has created donations of over $400,000 to local public schools.  We are fully committed to our community and our schools so we will continue to donate some of the proceeds from our Street Fair to our schools.  And we will once again honor Teachers of the Year from each of our local schools. 

Do you like international culture?  I am thrilled to announce that the Sister Cities Of Los Angeles has agreed to present internationally acclaimed musical and dance acts from three continents.  These exotic acts include performers from Africa, Japan, and Mexico.

You like more traditional entertainment?   Rock and blues bands will be there for you to listen or dance or sing along to.  And, if all of that singing makes your throats dry, the Chamber’s Myxology Booth near the Main Stage will have offer expert myxologists to create the best in beverages for your drinking pleasure.

Do you have smaller kids or grandchildren?We will have a bigger and better Pet Expo than ever.  For more family enjoyment, come see and listen to the talent of local school and community groups perform on the Community Stage.  Additionally, there will be arcade games and rides galore.

Interested in local expert products and services?  Many of the best local businesses will be there to answer your questions and offer their products and services to you.  Want to learn more about our local educational and non-profit organizations?  Many will have booths to offer you the support and help that enhances your family’s well being.  Oh, and you can also do a little Early Holiday Shopping at the beautiful selection of local artisan crafts.

Yes, this year’s Sherman Oaks Chamber Street Fair has something for everyone.    Come say hello and tell them that Dr. Bob sent you.
