Route 40 Fest set for fifth edition on Saturday

Friday, September 10, 2021

Brazil Main Street will host the fifth edition of the Route 40 Fest on Saturday throughout downtown Brazil from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Several special activities are planned, including:

• Live music

• Food vendors

• Kid Zone

• Cruise-In

Organizers remind anyone attending to “bring your cash...... there are tons of unique craft vendors.”

Josh Alsip of Brazil Main Street is excited to be able to have the Route 40 Fest again after skipping last year.

"After taking last year off, this unique annual event is back," Alsip said. "The historic highway is shut down in Brazil for almost a half-mile, allowing food trucks, craft vendors, live music, a cruise-in, kid zone, and more to take over!"
