The annual Spruce Hill May Fair, a neighborhood tradition for 60 years, will take place at Clark Park (43rd and Chester) this Saturday, May 12, from noon to 6 p.m. This year, the event will include:

– A musical line-up with well-known composer Dan Blacksberg and the Haimishers and special guests HardWork Movement.
– Over 50 local artisans who will offer a wide range of arts and crafts and other unique products
– Tables with information about local groups and causes
– University City Garden Club annual plant sale
– Food for every taste from food trucks and vendors working in University City
– A petting zoo, bounce tent and 40-foot-long inflatable obstacle course for kids
– $1 raffle featuring great prizes donated by local merchants. Tickets can be purchased in advance of the fair online; otherwise stop by the Spruce Hill booth at the Fair. 

Proceeds from the Fair, organized by the Spruce Hill Community Association, go to support local schools and organizations and some popular neighborhood events and activities.

Last year’s May Fair was cancelled due to heavy rain, so this year the organizers have added a rain date – Sunday, May 13.
