The Tisbury Street Fair is an annual summer celebration, crowded and casual, that brings everyone together in leisurely bliss. But it marks a moment in history as well, for it was on July 8 in 1671 that Tisbury was allowed to incorporate. The street fair is a birthday party, and all the more enjoyable for that.
