Happy Festivus! The Italian Festival May 15th-16th.
Once a year, for two days 9th Street in South Philadelphia is closed to traffic, opened to dozens of food stalls, and awash with Philadelphians and tourists, loaded with home made wine.Yup, when the whole pig is parked in front of Espositos, and carved up for roast pork sammidges, the party’s on. If you haven’t been here before, there are loads of people, three stages of live music, food demonstrations, and more antipasta, sausage and peppers and lovely pastries than you can shake a stick. This weekend is supposed to be lovely and sunny so come on down and be sure to come hungry. Even the skinny girls eat at this event.
