There will be football-themed stations set up on the RecPlex field and fans can try to beat the record for most passes completed to a target, or test their speed in the 50-yard dash.

A free pancake breakfast will be offered on Friday and Saturday from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

On Saturday the festival coincides with the Santa Clause Parade and Santa will make a special stop at the festival before heading down Portage Avenue towards The Forks.

The parade will travel right past the Nissan Titan Street Festival site at 4:30 p.m. Saturday, offering a good vantage point for the festivities.
