Sunday, April 4^th 2022 San Marcos Spring Fling

I know you would expect the website “It’s Always Halloween in my Head” to be anything and everything Fall, Fall’ish and Halloween related but there are so many different events throughout the year we have to make sure to live life to its fullest and check out as much as we possibly can (Halloween related or not).

 The fam and I decided to head on a bit up North to the 50^th annual San Marcos Spring Fling. The event started at 9AM and ran through 5PM on Sunday, April 4^th. Last year was our first time at the event and I must say this year it was way bigger. There were several local restaurants, businesses and lots of great food and beverage booths. One end of the event housed the main band stage while the other was home to a huge pirate themed slide (it was tempting to go for a slide but I had to refrain and wander around to make sure I took in all the amazing vendors). There was also a Community stage about half way through the fair.

We arrived early and glad we did, parking can be very tight. We wandered a bit but had to make sure to be back at the main stage by 11AM to catch this local North County local band, “Hangman” (@thebandhangman on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter). What a show! Still cannot believe these are local high school kids. They played their originals with a sprinkling of covers that everyone was singing along to. Crowd was pretty full and we even heard cheering and screaming from behind us (people hanging out in the beer/wine garden stuck around to listen as well). It was a great way to start the day for sure!

One of my favorite vendors was the “Bling it Hat Designs Flannels” (@blingithatdesignsflannels on Intagram). This booth had a wide variety of blinged out hats and one of a kind concert/flannel shirts. You name the band, they have it and if they do not they can make you a custom one from your favorite concert tee. So many to chose from but I ended up getting a Foo Fighters flannel for my son. Well made and again one of a kind. We’re all about different and unusual items.

We grabbed some coffee from “The Rush” (@therushcoffee on Instagram) coffee cart and it was pretty good. Again, great variety but we got our standard hot Americano for $5. Comparable to other coffee places and very good. There were quite a few people in line but it moved quickly and the owner who was making drinks was very nice.

We were limited on time yesterday but looking forward to checking out some new places we found at the street fair over the next few weekends. Overall it was great day and the weather was actually Fall’ish feeling so it was nice.
