El Segundo’s Richmond Street Fair

Saturday, September 26 from 9AM-5PM.

Being a resident of El Segundo, this fair is near and dear to my heart!  It has all the quaintness of a small town street fair just minutes from the hustle and bustle of LAX and the surrounding areas.  El Segundo, the country cousin of city-mouse Manhattan Beach, puts on a street fair that everyone will enjoy.  Sponsored by the El Segundo Kiwainis Club.
