The annual La Feria del Barrio is one of the biggest Latino arts and culture festivals in the Greater Philadelphia area.
Now in its 40th year, the free festival takes place in the heart of North Philly in El Centro de Oro (“the Golden Block”).
The event celebrates Philly’s Latino community through live music and dance performances, arts and craft vendors, community resources and family-friendly activities.
This year’s La Feria del Barrio kicks off September 8, 2024, at noon, rain or shine.
A vibrant celebration of the Latino soul, La Feria del Barrio is a late-summer/early-fall Philly tradition.
The free fiesta hits the streets of the historic Centro de Oro, North Philly’s Latino business and arts hub, each September with plenty of artisans and crafters, community nonprofits, performers and food merchants.
The all-ages festival draws local Latino performers and vendors, along with many hailing from Puerto Rico and all over Latin America.
This year’s festival includes exciting musical and dance performances by Mariposas Galácticas, Raíces Boricuas, Los Bomberos de la Calle, Tino Serrano y Su Orquesta Salsa Dura, and more. Plus, attendees can enjoy:

La Feria del Barrio is free to attend with pay-as-you-go food and merchandise.
Street parking is available throughout the neighborhood, but spots can be scarce during the festivities. The most direct way to get there? Public transportation.
SEPTA bus routes No. 39 and No. 54 run up and down Lehigh Avenue, while route No. 47 runs the length of Fifth Street all day. (Just keep an eye out for detours.)
SEPTA subway riders can hop off at Huntingdon Station on the Market-Frankford line or the North Philadelphia Station on SEPTA’s Broad Street Line, with each leaving you a 15-minute walk away.
La Feria del Barrio is produced by the community-based organization Taller Puertorriqueño, in partnership with a coalition of other cultural organizations including Asociación de Puertorriqueños en Marcha (APM), Congreso de Latino Unidos, HACE and Raíces Culturales Latinoamericanas.
For four decades, Feria has used live Latin music, dancing, local food, the arts and more to celebrate Philly’s Latino history and to support families, businesses and education in North Philadelphia.
