Montclair Bread Co. (MBC) will once again invite neighbors and friends for their annual birthday celebration and Walnut Street community block party on Saturday, April 30, from 10am-2pm.
Montclair Bread Co.'s Rachel Crampsey, organizer of Walnut Street Fair
The fourth annual Walnut Street Fair, organized by MBC CEO Rachel Crampsey, is a celebration of the quaint, tree-lined Walnut Street business district, home to many of the best eateries and friendliest shops in town.
"We created this event for the people who support us year 'round. It's also an opportunity to bring new faces to Walnut Street for those who haven't discovered us yet," enthuses Crampsey.
Last year's street fair attracted more than 5,000 visitors and the 2016 festival
-- with more than 50 vendors already committed -- is expected to be the biggest and most entertaining yet.
