For 2017, we continue to enhance our vendor promenade on Scott Street between 9th & 10th Streets.  Again this year we will close the street for the entire Festival, & addi tented seating.  Join us there and enjoy beer and wine at our new Scott St. bar area.  Be sure to visit our longstanding mix of great Italian product vendors, and enjoy the newly expanded Scott Street Italian food court, presented by Luigi & Giovanni Caterers, the renowned institution from Philadelphia’s Main Line, known for (among other things) as the exclusive caterer of Villanova University sports.
