It looked like about 100,000 people in the streets of Carlsbadistan for this year’s Street Faire, and that’s what organizers are telling the media apparently. According to the North County Times (who still pays people to write stories about street fairs):
As many as 100,000 people crowded the village streets Sunday to shop at the booths of more than 850 vendors, listen to live music at several locations and bask in the warm weather of a balmy November afternoon. . . “This weather is about as perfect as you can ask for during this event,” said Brian Roth, an event organizer for Kennedy & Associates, working for the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce. “A few days ago it would have been too hot, but things cooled down just enough.”
Luckily, we arrived late and yet were still able to find kettle corn and a jump or two on the huge bouncy houses on the corner of Carlsbad Village Drive and Roosevelt. Follow the jump for more snaps. . .
And a light shown down from the heavens on the most holy of Street Faire booths. And it was good.

Everything anyone needed was pretty much that-a-way.

Mmmm, this year’s Trans Fat Alley was even more delicious that we remembered.
This bouncy tiger was almost as frightening as the guys taking the tickets.
