Pennsylvania's Largest Food Truck Festival Returns to Philadelphia

The largest food event in Philadelphia - and one of the largest food truck festivals in America - is back and bigger than ever! StrEAT Food Festival returns to Manayunk on Sunday, April 19, 2026, from 11:00am to 5:00pm. Over 70 food trucks and 20 gourmet food vendors of the region’s top food trucks and food vendors will line historic Main Street for the day, serving up menus that range from savory BBQ and global street food to decadent desserts and sweet treats. In addition to the food trucks, the festival will also feature gourmet food vendors, unique shopping options and live music throughout the day. New for 2026, the festival will feature an all-new, expanded family area, creating even more space for guests to relax, explore, and enjoy the day. The extended footprint also allows for additional food trucks and vendors, making this year’s festival the largest StrEAT yet. Main Street Manayunk will be closed to vehicle traffic to allow all visitors a chance to explore the historic neighborhood. This rain or shine event is the perfect spring escape for visitors of all ages. There is no admission charge, and all food and drink is pay-as-you-go.

Stay Philly Strong and Philly Smart

/
Stay Philly Strong, Aversa PR, South Street

Hello Friends,

Last year, my calendar was packed for this week:

Monday - lunch on East Passyunk
Tuesday - rolling the dice at Parx Casino
Wednesday - sips at Uptown Beer Garden
Thursday - curtains up at Bristol Riverside Theatre
Friday - waterfront views at Morgan's Pier
Saturday - going "wild" at Philadelphia Zoo
Sunday - flying trapeze at Philadelphia School of Circus Arts

Today, instead, I put on my slippers, made coffee and went upstairs - by myself. I turned on the computer and started my day alone where I have been for eight weeks. Normally this time of year, I would be outside under blue skies with tens of thousands of people. This week, I will talk to my dog when he isn't taking a nap.

While I can't wait for life to return to normal, this is the time to be smart, be healthy, be supportive and be Philly Strong. In fact, it is the time to get even strong together as we enter the start of summer during these unprecedented times.

Small businesses like mine have lost tens of thousands of dollars. Retailers and restaurants have lost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Tourist attractions have lost millions of dollars.  Millions of jobs have been lost. Tens of thousands of lives have been lost.

If we rush out there and don't do it in a safe and healthy way, all the sacrifices we have made this year (big and small) will be in vain. We also risk a second wave that could have us back home alone again before fall and the holidays.

Please join me in in pledging to stay Phillly Strong and Philly Smart - and support efforts to open up Philadelphia and Pennsylvania in a healthy, safe and smart way.

Support our clients who are open and are in process of re-opening. Wear your masks, learn about social distancing, and don't give up now. We made it this far - and no matter how hard it was, it is not the time to loosen up now as better days are ahead.

Best,

Kory Aversa
