Families won’t want to miss the free Fun Fair at Sterling Marketplace, featuring games, activities, inflatables, and community organizations from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

Sterling Main Street expects to serve approximately 7,000 hot dogs during the event, which has become one of the community’s longest-running and most beloved summer traditions.
