Thousands Flock to Main St. for St. James Street Fair Today

Woodbridge Patch is at the fair, too - stop by and say hi!

What's different about this year's St. James Fair? Woodbridge Patch is there!

For more than two decades, families have flocked to the St. James Street Fair. This Saturday, Sept. 17, they'll have a chance again. The popular local event, one of the largest in the township, is sponsored by and parish that sits, fittingly enough, on Amboy Ave., at one end of Main St. which is closed off to Rahway Ave. for the fair.

Patch has set up shop at the Rahway Ave. end of the fair on Main St, in front of J.J. Bittings Brew Pub and right next to the NJ Devils concession. Patch is giving out lots of swag: bubbles, magnetic stickers, pens, and great canvas tote bags. Stop by and say hi!

Expect to see everything from dance performances by local students, township pets available for adoption, stands set up by every charitable, political and civic group imaginable.
