Brauhaus Schmitz held their 7th Annual Maifest celebration with German beer, food, dancers, music and a May Pole at the 6th annual South Street Spring Festival on May 4, 2019.
Tens of thousands of people attended this past Saturday's seventh annual South Street Spring Festival.
The festival featured 135 vendors, including food, cocktails and crafts along 10 blocks between Front and Eighth Streets on South Street, and along Second Street to Headhouse Square. There was a family fun zone with circus acts, crafts and face painting.
The highlight of the day was a meet and greet with the Flyers popular mascot Gritty at the Dietz and Watson Pop-up Shop at 501 South Street. A line of people stretching a block long waited patiently in line for their turn for a photo with the furry friend, and a jar of the new Gritty sauce.
Brauhaus Schmitz presented their 7th Annual Maifest celebration with German beer, food, dancers, music, a May Pole and rows and rows of picnic tables.
