No matter which side of the street you start on, you’ll want to leapfrog down South Street for an ever-changing festival experience! From Vietnamese hoagies at Banh Bi & Bottles to shredded beef and sweet plantain arepas at Puyero Venezuelan Flavor, and from fishbowl cocktails for adults AND children at O’Neals Pub to traditional ramen with a South Street twist from Neighborhood Ramen,ย make sure you save some room for a little bit of everything! You’ll also catch Bistro Romano, Brauhaus Schmitz^, Brazas BBQ Chicken, Bridget Foy’s^,ย MilkBoy South Street, Paddy Whacks, The Good King Tavern, and Woolly Mammoth out on the street slinging food and drinks!

Feeling crafty? 3rd Street Gallery^ will be displaying artwork of all types, with family-friendly & hands-on art projects running throughout the day! Feeling nostalgic? Pick up a bag of Koffmeyer’s cookies from Sam Shaw’s Treatery^, who brought this iconic sweet treat back to Philadelphia when she opened her shop earlier this year! Feeling rowdy? Stop by Vive 1977’s tent for some classic South Philly punk apparel and merch! Ready to shop? Keep an eye out for some “un-frog-ettable” setups from Alexandra Ngo Boutique, Aurora Grace Chocolates, B-Bop Vintage, Black & Nobel^, Lil Drummaboy Recordings, Oxymoron Fashion House, Premierebande, Queen & Rook Game Cafe^, Repo Records, Urban Princess Boutique, and many more!
