Beet Street, the annual fall festival that combines music, community causes and seasonal treats returns Saturday, Oct. 5. 

Established in 2016, the family-friendly autumn gathering takes over the block of South Wentworth Avenue between East Potter Avenue (Goodkind restaurant) and East Russell Avenue (Cactus Club).

Local food vendors, non-profit organizations, small businesses and local makers, photo booths, seasonal drinks and a punk rock rummage sale will all be on-site during the festival. The all-ages event runs 1-7 p.m. with an 18+ indoor after-party to follow.

Additionally, Beet Street will host nonprofit and community organization tables including environmental justice organizers, voter registration information, the ACLU and Bay View Historical Society.
