Philadelphia's annual Odunde Festival, which just celebrated its 41st year, is the country's largest African-American street festival. Thousands of festivalgoers showed up and showed off on South Street on Sunday, sporting gorgeous traditional African textiles and hairstyles, as well as expressing their own personal modern style.
This gallery shows just a fraction of all the beautiful faces and styles that graced Odunde 2016.
