South Street Spring Festival

 

Philadelphians  LOVE street festivals! Here are a few that I now of/attended this year.

In the fall there is the annual Chinese night market. This is where thousands of people from all over Philly crowd into Chinatown from about 11pm onward for great discounted Chinese food, concert and fun. 

There is also the Baltimore dollar stroll which took place in October. It is along Baltimore ave from about 40th street to 50th street. All the local restaurants along that street bring food out to the street and offer samplings for $1. You can get beer, pizza, Chinese, Ethiopian etc. all for just a buck!

This past weekend I went to the South Street festival. There was a section of the festival dedicated to German food and beer, and along the rest of South street you could find local restaurants out selling their food. There were several concerts going on... as well as a few entertainers who just decided to start their own "concert" along the street. 

The weekend of Penn's graduation will be another festival, the Italian market street festival. 

Philly is known as the city for food and it doesn't disappoint!
