It won't be long until 50,000 Tucsonans head down to the 4th Avenue Winter Street Fair this weekend. Food vendors have already started setting up the on North Fourth Avenue and East Seventh Street. The infamous PIGGLY'S BBQ and Grill didn't waste anytime setting up shop, and the only thing missing is the auroma from the turkey legs on the grill and the deep fried piggly fries.

Weegie, member of the Fourth Avenue Merchant Association, said that the newly installed trolley tracks or islands won't affect the the number of artist and merchants at this year's event. "There will be artist setting up on the islands. We haven't experienced any issues with trolley tracks yet," Weegie said. The artist and merchants will be able to start setting up when 4th Avenue is blocked off around 1 p.m.
The street fair dates are Dec. 13, 14 and 15 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily. There's also a live cam so you can watch the festivities in real time.
