La Festa Italian Street Festival is Hitting East Passyunk Next Month | Eater Philly

"The free, all-ages Italian street festival will take place all day next Sunday, June 2 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on East Passyunk Avenue between Broad and Moore streets in South Philadelphia; it began in 2010 to honor Festa della Repubblica and aims to replicate the holiday festivities held in Italy. Organizers say the festival’s footprint is nearly double what it’s been in previous years, so I can expect even more music, food, shopping and family fun, including two stages of live music, over two dozen food and drink vendors, wine-making demonstrations, and kid-friendly attractions like moonbounces, age-appropriate games and trampolines. The event also hosts an annual spaghetti-eating contest open to the public, is presented by Filitalia International and Foundation and the East Passyunk Avenue Business Improvement District, and will raise proceeds for Filitalia International and The History of Italian Immigration Museum." - Audrey Carleton
