Small businesses, participants enjoy the return of the annual event
After a year and a half, the Carlsbad Country Street Circus resumed activities on Sunday.
The one-day event replaces the annual May event cancelled due to COVID-19.
“It’s great, it’s like being locked up for a long year,” said participant Rick Kreysar.
Carlsbad Village Street Faire is hosted by the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce and aims to reconnect with the community and bring business to the area. This is especially important for pop-up companies that now rely on events to make money.
“All major events stopped, so we had to adapt a little bit,” said Ray Brown, the owner of Branch & Vine.
