Lacey Spring Fun Fair

I have been attending the Lacey Spring Fun Fair since 1987. It’s a fun FREE kid oriented festival located at Saint Martins University.
There are so many things to do! There are activities, arts and crafts, photo opportunities, bouncy houses and more! Activities are located outside in the parking lot outside the Marcus Pavilion and inside the Pavilion itself. The Marcus Pavilion was filled to the brim with educational booths and art/​craft booths. My daughter and I attempted to try all of them, but it was so jam-​packed we were only able to visit half. We ended up spending most of the time outside. She had a great time in a bouncy house and learning about the Fire Truck.
There is a stage where performing groups ranging from elementary schoolers to senior groups showed off their stuff. I performed for the Fun Fair when I was in high school. Everyone did a great job. The only time I worried was for a brief second when elementary-​aged kids were singing the normally inappropriate/​sexual innuendo ridden song Greased Lightning. It turned out it was the kid friendly version. Phew.
Wondering if there are food booths available? Of course! In addition to various activities there are food booths selling traditional fair food. Saint Martins, of course, has one. It was SO HOT last year I parked myself near the Saint Martins booth so I could get water and extra ice. My kid ate her weight in burgers, elephant ears, and snowcones. We would have stayed for the parade had I known there was one. The parade is on the second day and closes the event. I will definitely be sure to see it this time!
The Lacey Spring Fair is AMAZING. Definitely try to go on both days, if you are able!
The Lacey Spring Fun Fair 2013 will be on May 18 — 19. The parade starts at 6 pm on Sunday the 19^th.
