In 1973, The City of Orange was looking for ideas to celebrate its one hundredth year. Inspired by the Orange Street Fair of 1910 it was decided that for their centennial celebration, Orange would have the Orange International Street Fair (OISF). The Fair was so successful that it has become an annual tradition during Labor Day weekend.
The Orange Street Fair opening ceremonies will be held at the Main Stage at 5:45 p.m. on Friday night, Sep. 2.
