Kids enjoy the Italian Market Festival

Now that's Italian!

Come on down for a can't-miss day of family fun - rain or shine, in the open air and under our trademark awnings.
The Italian Market Festival is a one-of-a-kind celebration in Philadelphia's S. 9th Street Italian Market - the nation's oldest outdoor market. ​
The merchants invite you to join them in this extravaganza for the senses -- streets lined with vendors offering every ethnic delicacy possible, with live entertainment, fun contests and more! ​
Highlights Include the traditional Procession of Saints, Concert Stages with live entertainment, our annual John Marzano Halfball Tournament, the famous Grease Pole competition at the 9th & Montrose Piazza, Beer Garden (9th & Christian), Wine Garden (9th & Washington), interactive areas, contests, family fun, and lots of food and in great variety.
