Festival-lovers found themselves munching on delicious bites from over 500 different vendors. It was the perfect way to cap off a jovial weekend in Queens. Astoria\u2019s diversity was proudly celebrated as dancers from troupes all around the world performed traditional song and dance routines from Japan to the USA.<\/p>\n<p>Good vibes took over 28th Ave. to 34th Ave. as people found themselves completely immersed in the different booths. Kids wound up taking impromptu karate lessons, while adults enjoyed soaking in the sunshine as they sipped on fruity beverages inside of freshly cut pineapples. There truly was something for every\u00adone.<\/p>\n<p> This is just the beginning of street fair season in the borough. Mark your calendars because there\u2019s much more to come. Here is a list of future street fairs in Astoria that you won\u2019t want to miss this summer:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qgazette.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/2026-04-29\/6p2.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-197505\" class=\"wp-image-197505 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/6p2-300x243.jpg\" alt=\"One of the many performers at the Festival on Steinway Street.
