The South Ninth Street Italian Market Festival will continue its beloved tradition later this month, bringing food, fun, vendors and more to South Philadelphia.

On May 20-21, the festival will wind its way through the entirety of the South Philadelphia shopping, dining and lifestyle district, including a holy procession of the Saints celebrating Saint Mary Magdalen de’ Pazzi Church (the first Catholic Italian parish in the US, established in 1852 by Bishop John Neumann).
