“Fishtown District has become a top destination for foodies city-wide," said Fishtown District Director of Operations Kae Anderson. " Fishtown Fall Feastivale is the perfect way to eat your way down Frankford Avenue. It is our biggest line-up of restaurants and bars ever. Come find your favorites, or try something new and different. There's going to be something for everyone!"

Fishtown Fall Feastivale is now in its 11th year. The event started in 2013 during Philly Beer Week as Fishtown FestivALE with a focus on the neighborhood's award-winning beer scene. In 2022, the festival moved to fall with a new name, new date and a new expanded focus on all things food (and drink).  The outdoor end-of-summer food festival will feature over 40 food and drink options, including everything from burgers to brisket, Bavarian pretzels to bratwurst, cheesesteaks to veggie sausage, baked goods to local pickles - and everything in between.
