Girard Fest 2011 - Sept. 24th, on Girard Ave. between Front St. and 2nd St.

The 2nd annual Girard Fest is upon us! Thank you to everyone who supported last year's inaugural event to make it a huge success. We're excited to make this September's event even better.

Girard Fest brings together surrounding neighborhoods and cultural groups to celebrate the diversity and revitalization of Girard Ave.! This September's second annual event hosts eclectic multi-genre music booked by Philly F/M Fest, numerous artists and crafters, the city's best food vendors, family fun, and more! The action takes place on Girard (between Front and 2nd St.), Saturday September 24th, beginning at Noon and ending at 8pm.

The Girard Business and Arts Association (GBAA) represents the interests of approximately 120 businesses, property owners and artisans along Girard Liberties, which includes Girard Avenue from Frankford Avenue to Franklin Street. Our goal is to promote this corridor as a favorable economic and cultural destination to live, work, shop, dine and play. The GBAA plans events to improve the safety and appearance of this area and assists in underwriting school art programs within our neighborhood. GirardFest is the Association’s major fund raising effort. It is our goal to solicit corporate support through sponsorships and vendor registration.
