Spring in Philadelphia tends to show up all at once with street closures every weekend, and we’re okay with that. 

People are out earlier, staying out longer, and suddenly every neighborhood has something going on. That’s the magic of spring here; it’s so much more than just one event. It’s a stretch of weeks where Philly turns into a series of block parties, cultural celebrations, pet friendly events, and food-filled days that turn right into food-filled nights.

The PECO Multicultural Series is back this weekend! For the uninitiated, these are a series of outdoor festivals showcasing cultural traditions from around the world. This time, it's bringing a whirlwind of colors, flavors, and sounds to your Saturday and Sunday plans. No need to hop on a plane for a whirlwind world tour—just make your way to Penn's Landing this weekend. Why settle for one festival when you can have two?

“Eat. Play. Repeat.” — That’s about to be your new summer motto, Philadelphia! We have no shortage of block parties, street festivals, and markets that dot the different neighborhoods around the city. Food is commonly a central component of these, but some festivals this summer are all about the eats.
