FAME — Food, Arts, Music, Entertainment — began as a neighborhood gathering and has grown into the signature annual celebration of Montclair's South End Business District.
Every September, Orange Road transforms. Marketplace vendors, food stalls, live music, art installations, community organizations, and South End businesses come together to celebrate what this neighborhood has always been: creative, inclusive, historic, and alive.
FAME is not a concert. It is not a carnival. It is the South End — the whole South End — doing what it does best.
Whether you're a food vendor, an artist, a community organization, or a South End business — FAME is your stage. Vendor applications are open now for FAME 2026.
FAME Festival is made possible by the support of businesses, organizations, and community members who believe in what the South End is building. Sponsorship opportunities support live programming, community events, and the Legacy Award.
