Westcott Street Cultural Fair (WSCF) will take place on Sunday, September 27, 2026,
from Noon – 6:30 p.m. along the 500 block of Westcott St. and several side streets. With six stages, the WSCF offers an impressive lineup for fans of local music and dance. Performances include SAMMY Award-winning rock, blues, jazz, and funk groups, multicultural dance groups, and belly dancing. The children’s stage features magicians, storytellers, and musicians.
Parking Handicapped parking will be provided on site. In addition a new “Free Shuttle Service” from Housing Visions located at 1201 East Fayette St. will bring fairgoers to the fair every half hour.
More than 140 booths will line the streets. Many feature vendors of handmade items including jewelry, pottery, clothing, candles, soaps, and more. Other vendors will host non-profit groups, government agencies, and others who provide information and advocate for important issues.
The mission of the WSCF is to promote a strong sense of community among the diverse people who live and work in the Westcott neighborhood. A powerful heart beats in the Westcott community! We can’t wait to share what is displayed when the streets are filled again!
Petit Branch Library for the month of September has a display of Westcott Street Cultural Fair memorabilia going back 30+ years of the fair.
