The PECO Energy Multicultural Festival season runs on weekends all summer long.

What could be better than enjoying some amazing salsa performances on the banks of the Delaware River? Or how about savoring authentic dishes from the Caribbean, Ireland or Mexico?

The annual series begins with the celebration of Israel Independence Day on May 20 and continues throughout the summer, concluding with Mexican Independence Day on September 16.
