SUMMER STREETFEST & SIDEWALK DAYS
Friday, Saturday, Sunday July 17, 18,19, 2026
Summer StreetFest returns to Downtown Woodstock on July 17–19, 2026 for a full weekend of shopping, entertainment, food, and community celebration. Formerly known as Sidewalk Days, StreetFest has grown into one of Woodstock’s signature summer traditions, drawing thousands downtown each year for fun for all ages. Visitors can expect live music, local vendors, family activities, patio experiences, and special promotions from downtown businesses. This year’s event carries even greater meaning as the Downtown Woodstock BIA celebrates 50 years while the City of Woodstock celebrates 125 years. With those milestones in mind, 2026 is planned to be our grandest StreetFest celebration yet. Join us in the heart of the city as we celebrate the past, present, and future of Downtown Woodstock.
