Full Notification

This weekend the Niles Main Street Association will host the 51st Annual Niles Antique Fair and Flea Market on Sunday, August 30, 2015, from 6:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

The following roads will be CLOSED on Sunday, August 30, 2014, from 2:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.:

     • Niles Blvd. (between J St. and G St.)

     • F St., G St., H St. and I St. (between Second St. and Niles Blvd.)

If you live within this area, we ask that you kindly move your vehicle before Sunday morning.  Once the event begins, no traffic will be allowed in or out until the roads re-open.

The Niles Town Plaza parking lots will close Saturday evening, August 29, 2015, at 7:00 p.m.  All roadways and parking lots will reopen no later than 6:00 p.m. on Sunday. 

• Several roads in the Niles District have been posted with 72-hour "No Parking" notices.   This includes some of the narrower roads throughout historic Niles to help allow for public safety vehicles to have emergency ingress and egress access throughout the neighborhood during the event.  Fremont Police will be on-site beginning shortly after midnight to authorize the tow of vehicles left on the posted roadway. 

• The fee to pick up a towed vehicle the following day, ranges from $400 - $600, and can be higher if left at the tow yard for multiple days. The closures are necessary to get vendors in and unpacked before the early morning crowd arrives.

• Sidewalks must remain clear and free for the use of pedestrians.

• No open alcoholic beverages are allowed at any time during the event except in lawfully designated areas (restaurants, bars, private residences, etc.).  Fremont Police will be enforcing all alcohol violations both within the event and throughout the Niles community.

• Fremont Police staff will be on-site throughout the duration of the event to monitor and enforce parking complaints.  Vehicles parked in front of driveways, fire hydrants and ADA accessible ramps (sidewalks/corners) will be cited and possibly towed.  

• Handicapped parking can be found on the south side of J Street and on Niles Boulevard close to the corner of J Street.

This event brings in several thousand people and vehicles to the small town of Niles and pedestrian safety is a high priority for police. As a friendly reminder we'd like to caution all drivers and residents to obey traffic and parking laws.
