The East Passyunk Car Show and Street Festival is a popular outdoor event.
The 12th East Passyunk Car Show and Street Festival will be held on Sunday, July 30 on East Passyunk Avenue, between Broad and Dickinson streets.
“Families from around the tri-state area flock to the [area] to cruise the cars, enjoy live music on every block and taste authentic South Philly cooking," said Pam Zenzola, the event's executive director.
The car show will begin at 9 a.m., while the street festival portion of the day will kick off at 11 a.m. Both the car show and festival will wrap up around 4 p.m.
View our guide to the annual event below. It's free to attend.
Browse the large lineup of vehicles and pick out a dream car.
Car enthusiasts will be able to view over 140 antique, show, classic and custom cars, trucks and motorcycles on the Avenue.
If you have a vehicle you want to show off, the fee for participating cars is $20. Registration will take place between 8 a.m. and noon, at Broad Street and East Passyunk Avenue. Space is available on a first come, first served basis.
