Fall Colors, Music, and a Whole Lot of People



The October 2026 Yellow Springs Street Fair brought another great day of food, art, music, and plenty of people exploring the village. The weather cooperated, making it a beautiful fall day to wander the streets and see what everyone had to offer.


I was out photographing the event for the Yellow Springs Chamber of Commerce, capturing everything from the busy vendor areas and street performers to the live music and people enjoying the day.  One change this fall was the move of the main stage and beer garden to Short Street. The new setup brought everyone a little closer to the performers and gave the music a fun, more intimate feel. It was a different arrangement, but one that I thought worked really well.


As always, there was plenty happening throughout the village, and it was a fun day to be out with the camera capturing it.


If you've got an event coming up and want photographs that capture the people and moments that make it memorable. Get in touch and we'll talk about what you have planned..
