First Annual Shad Fest!
Learn more
Presented by PHS
Open to the public and members
Penn Treaty Park is celebrating the historical and environmental significance of Fishtown, one of Philadelphia’s oldest riverfront neighborhoods, just north of Center City.
Activities will include live music, children’s activities, a shad cooking demonstration, kayaking, arts and crafts vendors, and a historical trolley tour through the neighborhood with historian Ken Milano.
The festival will celebrate the shad fish, once vital to the area’s economy and culture. Stick around after the fest for the neighborhood’s first restaurant week!
Shad Fest is hosted by the Fishtown Area Business Association in partnership with PHS, the Pennsylvania Environmental Council, the New Kensington Community Development Corporation, FNA, and Friends of Penn Treaty Park.
For more information, please visit fishtownshadfest.org. Partial funding for this project comes from the Take Me to the River grant program, administered by the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission with funding from the William Penn Foundation.
