With a children's area, band and dance performances, and vendor and community group booths to visit, there is something for everyone to enjoy. The Fall Street Faire is organized by the Reading Rotary Club.

Join with your neighbors for a moment of reflection before the Faire.

3rd Annual Cornhole Classic
Promote your business while supporting our town! Your $500 Sponsorship gets you your own set of Cornhole Boards customized with your business logo. Your boards will be displayed and played on throughout the tournament. At the end of the day, you get to bring them home to keep. Great for backyard BBQs, corporate events, and even in the break room or customer area for a little fun at work.

The Antique Car Show is back and better than ever!
Enter the parking lot off Haven Street (behind CVS and the Reading Cooperative Bank) to see up to fifty different antique cars from different eras. You might see a Model A, a 1950s Corvette, or a 1960s Thunderbird. Car owners from the North Shore Old Car Club will be there, to show off their cars and even pop the hood if you want to get a look inside. This trip down memory lane includes hits from the 50s, 60s, and 70s played all afternoon by Rick Obey's Entertainment DJ Nick Lamberti.

Dunk Tank
Local leaders get soaked for a good cause
You'll find them on the middle of Haven Street – wet, cold, and a little nervous. Our local leaders are volunteering their time in the Dunk Tank to support two great causes – the Reading Rotary Club/Fall Street Faire and the owners of Ruff N' Ready Dog Grooming, a small local business that recently suffered a serious setback.
