Dear Shareholder:
We've seen a welcome uptick in the global equity markets this spring and summer, as signs of stabilization in some economic indicators have brought many investors back into the marketplace. But there remain other key measures - notably high unemployment and slack consumer spending - that suggest the road back to economic health could still be a bumpy ride. Financial markets are always unpredictable, of course, but there also are several time-tested investment principles that can help put the historical odds in your favor.
One of the basic tenets is to invest for the long term. Over time, riding out the markets' inevitable ups and downs has proven much more effective than selling into panic or chasing the hottest trend. Even missing only a few of the markets' best days can significantly diminish investor returns. Patience also affords the benefits of compounding - of earning interest on additional income or reinvested dividends and capital gains. There can be tax advantages and cost benefits to consider as well. While staying the course doesn't eliminate risk, it can considerably lessen the effect of short-term declines.
You can further manage your investing risk through diversification. And today, more than ever, geographic diversification should be taken into account. Studies indicate that asset allocation is the single most important determinant of a portfolio's long-term success. The right mix of stocks, bonds and cash - aligned to your particular risk tolerance and investment objective - is very important. Age-appropriate rebalancing is also an essential aspect of asset allocation. For younger investors, an emphasis on equities - which historically have been the best-performing asset class over time - is encouraged. As investors near their specific goal, such as retirement or sending a child to college, consideration may be given to replacing volatile assets (e.g. common stocks) with more-stable fixed investments (bonds or savings plans).
A third principle - investing regularly - can help lower the average cost of your purchases. Investing a certain amount of money each month or quarter helps ensure you won't pay for all your shares at market highs. This strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - also reduces "emotion" from investing, helping shareholders avoid selling weak performers just prior to an upswing, or chasing a hot performer just before a correction.
We invite you to contact us via the Internet, through our Investor Centers or by phone. It is our privilege to provide you the information you need to make the investments that are right for you.
Sincerely,
/s/Abigail P. Johnson

Annual Report
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (March 1, 2009 to August 31, 2009).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the accompanying table for each fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, each Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table for each fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, each Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Annual Report
Fidelity Arizona Municipal Income Fund
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity ® Arizona Municipal Income Fund on August 31, 1999. The chart shows how the value of your investment would have changed, and also shows how the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index performed over the same period.

Annual Report
Market Recap: After a slow start, municipal bonds turned in solid gains during the 12-month period ending August 31, 2009. At the outset, munis were under pressure amid heavy selling by leveraged investors and others who sought the relative safety of U.S. Treasuries. Further rattling the muni market were the credit downgrade of bond insurers and heavy new issuance from state and local governments looking to refinance their debt. More recently, munis began to recover due largely to increasingly favorable supply and demand conditions. Supply pressures eased with the introduction of "Build America Bonds" which, in many cases, afforded tax-exempt issuers cheaper financing in the taxable market than was available in the muni market. At the same time, demand for munis firmed as the doom and gloom surrounding the financial system began to moderate. As technical market factors improved, investors gravitated toward the attractive valuations offered by tax-free bonds even as muni issuers continued to grapple with the fundamental challenges of dwindling revenues and rising costs. For the 12 months overall, the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index - a performance measure of more than 45,000 investment-grade, fixed-rate tax-exempt bonds - rose 5.67%. By comparison, the overall taxable debt market, as measured by the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, gained 7.94%.
Comments from Christine Thompson, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Arizona Municipal Income Fund: For the year, the fund returned 5.15% and the Barclays Capital Arizona 4+ Year Enhanced Municipal Bond Index returned 6.60%. The bulk of the fund's underperformance occurred during the first half, when its significant underweighting in prerefunded and escrowed bonds worked against it. Amid faltering global financial markets and weakening economic conditions, these bonds - which are backed by U.S. government securities - were in strong demand from investors seeking high-quality investments. An underweighting in housing bonds also detracted because they rebounded strongly in 2009. In contrast, the fund benefited from its overweighing in high-quality health care bonds which, like housing bonds, rallied back from depressed levels. My decision to overweight essential-service bonds - particularly those issued by utilities - also worked to our advantage as strong investor demand aided their performance. An overweighting to higher-education bonds was another plus. They fared well due to favorable fundamentals stemming from robust student demand for higher-education, as well as strong investor interest in higher-quality bonds overall. Yield-curve positioning did not have a meaningful impact on performance overall.

Weighted Average Maturity as of August 31, 2009 |
| | 6 months ago |
Years | 8.8 | 11.1 |
The weighted average maturity is based on the dollar-weighted average length of time until principal payments are expected or until securities reach maturity, taking into account any maturity shortening feature such as a call, refunding or redemption provision. |
Duration as of August 31, 2009 |
| | 6 months ago |
Years | 8.5 | 8.7 |
Duration shows how much a bond fund's price fluctuates with changes in comparable interest rates. If rates rise 1%, for example, a fund with a five-year duration is likely to lose about 5% of its value. Other factors also can influence a bond fund's performance and share price. Accordingly, a bond fund's actual performance may differ from this example. |

For the period ended August 31, 2009
1. Organization.
Fidelity Arizona Municipal Income Fund (the Income Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Union Street Trust. Fidelity Arizona Municipal Money Market Fund (the Money Market Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Union Street Trust II. Each trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. Fidelity Union Street Trust and Fidelity Union Street Trust II (the trusts) are organized as a Massachusetts business trust and a Delaware statutory trust, respectively. Each Fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. Each Fund may be affected by economic and political developments in the state of Arizona.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
The Funds may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The Funds' Schedules of Investments list each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of each Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Funds indirectly bear their proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Funds' Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC's web site or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Events or transactions occurring after period end through the date that the financial statements were issued, October 13, 2009, have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Funds:
Security Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Income Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value their investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to

Security Valuation - continued
valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are classified into three levels. Level 1 includes readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 includes observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly. Level 3 includes unobservable inputs when market prices are not readily available or reliable. For the Income Fund, changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment's assigned level within the hierarchy. The aggregate value by input level, as of August 31, 2009, for each Fund's investments is included at the end of each Fund's Schedule of Investments. Valuation techniques of each Fund's major categories of assets and liabilities as presented in the Schedule of Investments are as follows.
For the Income Fund, debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on quotations received from dealers who make markets in such securities or by independent pricing services. For municipal securities pricing services generally utilize matrix pricing which considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type as well as dealer supplied prices. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value. Actual prices received at disposition may differ.
As permitted by compliance with certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, securities owned by the Money Market Fund are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value.
When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or reliable, valuations may be determined in good faith in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. Factors used in determining value may include significant market or security specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality, and developments in foreign markets which are monitored by evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange-traded funds. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for net asset value (NAV) calculation under these procedures may differ from published prices for the same securities.
Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Funds' investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally

Investment Transactions and Income - continued
4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day for the Income Fund and trades executed through the end of the current business day for the Money Market Fund. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income and distributions from the Fidelity Central Funds are accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities.
Expenses. Most expenses of each trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
The Board of Trustees of the Money Market Fund approved the participation by the Money Market Fund in the U.S. Treasury Department's Temporary Guarantee Program for Money Market Funds (the "Program") through September 18, 2009. Under the Program, if the Money Market Fund's market value per share drops below $0.995 on any day while the Program is in effect, shareholders of record on that date who also held shares in the Money Market Fund on September 19, 2008 may be eligible to receive a payment from the U.S. Treasury Department upon liquidation of the Money Market Fund. The Money Market Fund paid the U.S. Treasury Department fees equal to 0.04% based on the number of shares outstanding as of September 19, 2008 to participate in the Program. The fees are being amortized over the length of the participation in the Program. The expense is borne by the Money Market Fund without regard to any expense limitation currently in effect.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, each Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and filing its U.S. federal tax return. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required. Each Fund is subject to the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. There are no unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. A Fund's federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three years.
Dividends are declared daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations,

which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, certain Funds will claim a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to futures transactions, market discount, deferred trustees compensation, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to excise tax regulations.
The Funds purchase municipal securities whose interest, in the opinion of the issuer, is free from federal income tax. There is no assurance that the IRS will agree with this opinion. In the event the IRS determines that the issuer does not comply with relevant tax requirements, interest payments from a security could become federally taxable, possibly retroactively to the date the security was issued.
The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows for each Fund:
| Cost for Federal Income Tax Purposes | Unrealized Appreciation | Unrealized Depreciation | Net Unrealized Appreciation/ (Depreciation) |
Fidelity Arizona Municipal Income Fund | $ 153,054,010 | $ 2,479,792 | $ (3,908,541) | $ (1,428,749) |

Fidelity Arizona Municipal Income Fund | $ - | $ - | $ (397,926) |

The tax character of distributions paid was as follows:

Fidelity Arizona Municipal Money Market Fund | 8,420,612 | - | - | 8,420,612 |
Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the Income Fund less than 30 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to .50% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by FMR, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.
4. Investments in Derivative Instruments.
Objectives and Strategies for Investing in Derivative Instruments. The Income Fund uses derivative instruments ("derivatives"), including futures contracts, in order to meet its investment objectives. The Income Fund's strategy is to use derivatives as a risk management tool and as an additional way to gain exposure to certain types of assets. The success of any strategy involving derivatives depends on analysis of numerous economic factors, and if the strategies for investment do not work as intended, the Income Fund may not achieve its objectives.
While utilizing derivatives in pursuit of its investment objectives, the Income Fund is exposed to certain financial risks relative to those derivatives. This risk is further explained below:
Interest Rate Risk | Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of interest-bearing financial instruments will fluctuate due to changes in the prevailing levels of market interest rates. |
The following notes provide more detailed information about each derivative type held by the Income Fund:
Futures Contracts. The Income Fund use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the bond market and to fluctuations in interest rates. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell a specified underlying instrument for a fixed price at a specified future date. Buying futures tends to increase a fund's exposure to the underlying instrument, while selling futures tends to decrease a fund's exposure to the underlying instrument. Risks of loss may include interest rate risk, and potential lack of liquidity

Futures Contracts - continued
in the market. Futures have minimal counterparty risk to the Fund since the exchange's clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.
The purchaser or seller of a futures contract is not required to pay for or deliver the instrument unless the contract is held until the delivery date. Upon entering into a futures contract, a fund is required to deposit with a clearing broker, no later than the following business day, an amount ("initial margin") equal to a certain percentage of the face value of the contract. The initial margin may be in the form of cash or securities and is transferred to a segregated account on settlement date. Securities deposited to meet margin requirements are identified in each applicable Fund's Schedule of Investments. Futures contracts are marked-to-market daily and subsequent payments ("variation margin") are made or received by a fund depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the futures contract. These amounts are reflected as receivables or payables on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and changes in value are recognized as unrealized gain (loss). Realized gain (loss) is recorded upon the expiration or closing of the futures contract. The net realized gain (loss) and change in unrealized gain (loss) on futures contracts during the period is included on the Statement of Operations. The total underlying face amount of all open futures contracts at period end is indicative of the volume of this derivative type.
5. Realized and Change in Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Derivative Instruments. A summary of the Income Fund's value of derivatives by primary risk exposure as of period end, if any, is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments. The table below reflects the Income Fund's realized gain (loss) and change in unrealized gain (loss) for derivatives during the period.
Risk Exposure / Derivative Type | Realized Gain (Loss) | Change in Unrealized Gain (Loss) |
Fidelity Arizona Municipal Income Fund | | |
Interest Rate Risk | | |
Futures Contracts | $ 16,972 | $ 1,882 |
Total Derivatives Realized and Change in Unrealized Gain (Loss) (a)(b) | $ 16,972 | $ 1,882 |
(a) Total derivatives realized gain (loss) included in the Statement of Operations is comprised of $16,972 for futures contracts.
(b) Total derivatives change in unrealized gain (loss) included in the Statement of Operations is comprised of $1,882 for futures contracts.
Annual Report
6. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities other than short-term securities, for the Income Fund aggregated $33,912,052 and $24,192,926, respectively.
7. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provides the Funds with investment management related services for which the Funds pay a monthly management fee. FMR pays all other expenses, except the compensation of the independent Trustees and certain exceptions such as interest expense, including commitment fees. The management fee paid to FMR by the Funds is reduced by an amount equal to the fees and expenses paid by the Fund to the independent Trustees. Each Fund's management fee is equal to the following annual rate of average net assets:
Fidelity Arizona Municipal Income Fund | .55% |
Fidelity Arizona Municipal Money Market Fund | .50% |
8. Committed Line of Credit.
The Income Fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The participating funds have agreed to pay commitment fees on their pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Statement of Operations, and is as follows:
Fidelity Arizona Municipal Income Fund | $ 610 |
During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
9. Expense Reductions.
FMR or its affiliates voluntarily agreed to waive certain fees during the period for the Money Market fund. The amount of the waiver is $34,041.
In addition, through arrangements with each applicable Fund's custodian and transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce each applicable Fund's management fee. During the period, these credits reduced management fee by the following amounts:
Fidelity Arizona Municipal Income Fund | $ 5,469 |
Fidelity Arizona Municipal Money Market Fund | 43,063 |

10. Other.
The Funds' organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Funds. In the normal course of business, the Funds may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Funds. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
The supply of municipal money market securities has fluctuated significantly due to market volatility. As a result, the Money Market Fund's cash position may be significant during the period.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees
Fidelity Arizona Municipal Income Fund / Fidelity Arizona Municipal Money Market Fund
On May 21, 2009, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), voted to continue the management contract and subadvisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for each fund for four months, through September 30, 2009, in connection with the reorganization of the Board's new meeting schedule. The Board considered that the contractual terms of and fees payable under each fund's Advisory Contracts involve no changes in (i) the investment process or strategies employed in the management of each fund's assets; (ii) the nature or level of services provided under each fund's Advisory Contracts; or (iii) the day-to-day management of each fund or the persons primarily responsible for such management. The Board concluded that each fund's Advisory Contracts are fair and reasonable, and that each fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed, without modification, through September 30, 2009, with the understanding that the Board will consider their renewal in September 2009.

Dear Shareholder:
We've seen a welcome uptick in the global equity markets this spring and summer, as signs of stabilization in some economic indicators have brought many investors back into the marketplace. But there remain other key measures - notably high unemployment and slack consumer spending - that suggest the road back to economic health could still be a bumpy ride. Financial markets are always unpredictable, of course, but there also are several time-tested investment principles that can help put the historical odds in your favor.
One of the basic tenets is to invest for the long term. Over time, riding out the markets' inevitable ups and downs has proven much more effective than selling into panic or chasing the hottest trend. Even missing only a few of the markets' best days can significantly diminish investor returns. Patience also affords the benefits of compounding - of earning interest on additional income or reinvested dividends and capital gains. There can be tax advantages and cost benefits to consider as well. While staying the course doesn't eliminate risk, it can considerably lessen the effect of short-term declines.
You can further manage your investing risk through diversification. And today, more than ever, geographic diversification should be taken into account. Studies indicate that asset allocation is the single most important determinant of a portfolio's long-term success. The right mix of stocks, bonds and cash - aligned to your particular risk tolerance and investment objective - is very important. Age-appropriate rebalancing is also an essential aspect of asset allocation. For younger investors, an emphasis on equities - which historically have been the best-performing asset class over time - is encouraged. As investors near their specific goal, such as retirement or sending a child to college, consideration may be given to replacing volatile assets (e.g. common stocks) with more-stable fixed investments (bonds or savings plans).
A third principle - investing regularly - can help lower the average cost of your purchases. Investing a certain amount of money each month or quarter helps ensure you won't pay for all your shares at market highs. This strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - also reduces "emotion" from investing, helping shareholders avoid selling weak performers just prior to an upswing, or chasing a hot performer just before a correction.
We invite you to contact us via the Internet, through our Investor Centers or by phone. It is our privilege to provide you the information you need to make the investments that are right for you.
Sincerely,
/s/Abigail P. Johnson

Annual Report
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.
Average Annual Total Returns
Periods ended August 31, 2009 | Past 1 year | Past 5 years | Past 10 years |

$10,000 Over 10 Years
Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity® Maryland Municipal Income Fund on August 31, 1999. The chart shows how the value of your investment would have changed, and also shows how the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index performed over the same period.

Annual Report
Market Recap: After a slow start, municipal bonds turned in solid gains during the 12-month period ending August 31, 2009. At the outset, munis were under pressure amid heavy selling by leveraged investors and others who sought the relative safety of U.S. Treasuries. Further rattling the muni market were the credit downgrade of bond insurers and heavy new issuance from state and local governments looking to refinance their debt. More recently, munis began to recover due largely to increasingly favorable supply and demand conditions. Supply pressures eased with the introduction of "Build America Bonds" which, in many cases, afforded tax-exempt issuers cheaper financing in the taxable market than was available in the muni market. At the same time, demand for munis firmed as the doom and gloom surrounding the financial system began to moderate. As technical market factors improved, investors gravitated toward the attractive valuations offered by tax-free bonds even as muni issuers continued to grapple with the fundamental challenges of dwindling revenues and rising costs. For the 12 months overall, the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index - a performance measure of more than 45,000 investment-grade, fixed-rate tax-exempt bonds - rose 5.67%. By comparison, the overall taxable debt market, as measured by the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, gained 7.94%.
Comments from Mark Sommer, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Maryland Municipal Income Fund: For the year, the fund returned 5.34% and the Barclays Capital Maryland 4+ Year Enhanced Municipal Bond Index returned 7.40%. The way in which I invested in bonds with various maturities was a key factor that detracted from performance. Specifically, a larger-than-index exposure to longer-term bonds proved detrimental because they were hurt by uncertainty about the economy and inflation fears and lagged intermediate bonds, in which the fund was underweighted. My decisions regarding credit quality also worked against us relative to the index. Here, an overweighting in lower-quality investment-grade munis hurt because they lagged the index early in the period amid investors' wariness of riskier asset classes. In particular, an overweighting in health care bonds throughout much of the period was a drag on performance. The fund was hurt as well by out-of-index holdings in bonds issued within the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, many of which were insured but suffered downgrades when the insurance companies that guaranteed them deteriorated. In contrast, security selection among lower-quality investment-grade health care bonds was a modest plus. Generally speaking, the bonds in this category that I emphasized outperformed the lower-quality health care bonds in the index.

These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.
Annual Report
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (March 1, 2009 to August 31, 2009).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the accompanying table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Investment Changes (Unaudited)
Top Five Sectors as of August 31, 2009 |
| % of fund's net assets | % of fund's net assets 6 months ago |
General Obligations | 28.4 | 26.1 |
Health Care | 14.6 | 14.1 |
Water & Sewer | 13.2 | 13.2 |
Education | 11.4 | 12.3 |
Special Tax | 7.9 | 5.2 |
Weighted Average Maturity as of August 31, 2009 |
| | 6 months ago |
Years | 7.8 | 10.6 |
The weighted average maturity is based on the dollar-weighted average length of time until principal payments are expected or until securities reach maturity, taking into account any maturity shortening feature such as a call, refunding or redemption provision. |
Duration as of August 31, 2009 |
| | 6 months ago |
Years | 7.5 | 7.6 |
Duration shows how much a bond fund's price fluctuates with changes in comparable interest rates. If rates rise 1%, for example, a fund with a five-year duration is likely to lose about 5% of its value. Other factors also can influence a bond fund's performance and share price. Accordingly, a bond fund's actual performance may differ from this example. |

Annual Report
Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended August 31, 2009
1. Organization.
Fidelity Maryland Municipal Income Fund (the Fund) is a non-diversified fund of Fidelity Union Street Trust (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund may be affected by economic and political developments in the state of Maryland.
2. Significant Accounting Policies.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Events or transactions occurring after period end through the date that the financial statements were issued, October 13, 2009, have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Security Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are classified into three levels. Level 1 includes readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 includes observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly. Level 3 includes unobservable inputs when market prices are not readily available or reliable. Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment's assigned level within the hierarchy. The aggregate value by input level, as of August 31, 2009, for the Fund's investments is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments. Valuation techniques of the Fund's major categories of assets and liabilities as presented in the Schedule of Investments are as follows.
Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on quotations received from dealers who make markets in such securities or by independent pricing services. For municipal securities pricing services generally utilize matrix pricing which considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type as well as dealer supplied prices. Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value. Actual prices received at disposition may differ.

2. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Security Valuation - continued
When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or reliable, valuations may be determined in good faith in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. Factors used in determining value may include significant market or security specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality, and developments in foreign markets which are monitored by evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange-traded funds. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for net asset value (NAV) calculation under these procedures may differ from published prices for the same securities.
Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and filing its U.S. federal tax return. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required. The Fund is subject to the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. There are no unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. A Fund's federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three years.
Dividends are declared daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
Annual Report
2. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to futures transactions, market discount, deferred trustees compensation, capital loss carryforwards, and losses deferred due to excise tax regulations.
The Fund purchases municipal securities whose interest, in the opinion of the issuer, is free from federal income tax. There is no assurance that the IRS will agree with this opinion. In the event the IRS determines that the issuer does not comply with relevant tax requirements, interest payments from a security could become federally taxable, possibly retroactively to the date the security was issued.
The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 4,115,637 |
Unrealized depreciation | (2,456,608) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $ 1,659,029 |
| |
Capital loss carryforward | $ (469,179) |
| |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 153,546,931 |
The tax character of distributions paid was as follows:
| August 31, 2009 | August 31, 2008 |
Tax-exempt Income | $ 5,494,669 | $ 5,404,828 |
Long-term Capital Gains | 136,291 | 278,496 |
Total | $ 5,630,960 | $ 5,683,324 |
Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the Fund less than 30 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to .50% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

3. Investments in Derivative Instruments.
Objectives and Strategies for Investing in Derivative Instruments. The Fund uses derivative instruments ("derivatives"), including futures contracts, in order to meet its investment objectives. The Fund's strategy is to use derivatives as a risk management tool and as an additional way to gain exposure to certain types of assets. The success of any strategy involving derivatives depends on analysis of numerous economic factors, and if the strategies for investment do not work as intended, the Fund may not achieve its objectives.
While utilizing derivatives in pursuit of its investment objectives, the Fund is exposed to certain financial risks relative to those derivatives. These risks are further explained below:
Credit Risk | Credit risk is the risk that the value of financial instruments will fluctuate as a result of changes in the credit quality of those instruments. Credit risk also includes the risk that the counterparty to a financial instrument will default or be unable to make further principal or interest payments on an obligation or commitment that it has entered into with the Fund. |
Interest Rate Risk | Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of interest-bearing financial instruments will fluctuate due to changes in the prevailing levels of market interest rates. |
The following notes provide more detailed information about each derivative type held by the Fund:
Futures Contracts. The Fund uses futures contracts to manage its exposure to the bond market and to fluctuations in interest rates. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell a specified underlying instrument for a fixed price at a specified future date. Buying futures tends to increase a fund's exposure to the underlying instrument, while selling futures tends to decrease a fund's exposure to the underlying instrument. Risks of loss may include credit risk, interest rate risk and potential lack of liquidity in the market. Futures have minimal counterparty risk to the Fund since the exchange's clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.
The purchaser or seller of a futures contract is not required to pay for or deliver the instrument unless the contract is held until the delivery date. Upon entering into a futures contract, a fund is required to deposit with a clearing broker, no later than the following business day, an amount ("initial margin") equal to a certain percentage of the face value of the contract. The initial margin may be in the form of cash or securities and is transferred to a segregated account on settlement date. Securities deposited to meet margin requirements are identified in the Fund's Schedule of Investments. Futures

contracts are marked-to-market daily and subsequent payments ("variation margin") are made or received by a fund depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the futures contract. These amounts are reflected as receivables or payables on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and changes in value are recognized as unrealized gain (loss). Realized gain (loss) is recorded upon the expiration or closing of the futures contract. The net realized gain (loss) and change in unrealized gain (loss) on futures contracts during the period is included on the Statement of Operations. The total underlying face amount of all open futures contracts at period end is indicative of the volume of this derivative type.
Realized and Change in Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Derivative Instruments. A summary of the Fund's value of derivatives by primary risk exposure as of period end, if any, is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments. The table below reflects the Fund's realized gain (loss) and change in unrealized gain (loss) for derivatives during the period.
Risk Exposure/Derivative Type | Realized Gain (Loss) | Change in Unrealized Gain (Loss) |
Interest Rate Risk | | |
Futures Contracts (a)(b) | $ 13,129 | $ 1,529 |
(a) Total derivatives realized gain (loss) included in the Statement of Operations is comprised of $13,129 for futures contracts.
(b) Total derivatives change in unrealized gain (loss) included in the Statement of Operations is comprised of $1,529 for futures contracts..
4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $34,039,412 and $32,653,878, respectively.
5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee that is based on an annual rate of .55% of the Fund's average net assets. FMR pays all other expenses, except the compensation of the independent Trustees and certain exceptions such as interest expense, including commitment fees. The management fee paid to FMR by the Fund is reduced by an amount equal to the fees and expenses paid by the Fund to the independent Trustees.
Annual Report
Notes to Financial Statements - continued
6. Committed Line of Credit.
The Fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $665 and is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Statement of Operations. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
7. Expense Reductions.
Through arrangements with the Fund's custodian and transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's management fee. During the period, these credits reduced the Fund's management fee by $9,274.
8. Other.
The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

The trust's Audit Committee has considered non-audit services that were not pre-approved that were provided by PwC to Fund Service Providers to be compatible with maintaining the independence of PwC in its audit of the Funds, taking into account representations from PwC, in accordance with Public Company Accounting Oversight Board rules, regarding its independence from the Funds and their related entities and FMR's review of the appropriateness and permissibility under applicable law of such non-audit services prior to their provision to the Fund Service Providers.
Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures
The trust's Audit Committee must pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided by a fund's independent registered public accounting firm relating to the operations or financial reporting of the fund. Prior to the commencement of any audit or non-audit services to a fund, the Audit Committee reviews the services to determine whether they are appropriate and permissible under applicable law.
The Audit Committee has adopted policies and procedures to, among other purposes, provide a framework for the Committee's consideration of non-audit services by the audit firms that audit the Fidelity funds. The policies and procedures require that any non-audit service provided by a fund audit firm to a Fidelity fund and any non-audit service provided by a fund auditor to a Fund Service Provider that relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of a Fidelity fund ("Covered Service") are subject to approval by the Audit Committee before such service is provided.
All Covered Services must be approved in advance of provision of the service either: (i) by formal resolution of the Audit Committee, or (ii) by oral or written approval of the service by the Chair of the Audit Committee (or if the Chair is unavailable, such other member of the Audit Committee as may be designated by the Chair to act in the Chair's absence). The approval contemplated by (ii) above is permitted where the Treasurer determines that action on such an engagement is necessary before the next meeting of the Audit Committee.
Non-audit services provided by a fund audit firm to a Fund Service Provider that do not relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of a Fidelity fund are reported to the Audit Committee on a periodic basis.
Non-Audit Services Approved Pursuant to Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) and (ii) of Regulation S-X ("De Minimis Exception")
There were no non-audit services approved or required to be approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to the De Minimis Exception during the Funds' last two fiscal years relating to services provided to (i) the Funds or (ii) any Fund Service Provider that relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Funds.
