Rittenhouse Row Festival Returns
The annual Rittenhouse Row Festival returns this Saturday, May 4th, 2024. This family-friendly, upscale celebration brings together local businesses, vendors, and restaurants for a premier spring event. The festivities will begin around noon until 5 p.m., rain or shine.
The festival has been a staple in the community since Rittenhouse Row was founded in the late 1990s. More than 50,000 people swarm to the area to celebrate.
Arranged as a sophisticated and upscale festival, the event features local businesses selling and promoting their brand alongside national brand activations, live entertainment, fashion and extraordinary food and beverage from top Philadelphia restaurants.
The spirit of the day is accessible luxury -a way for the community, suburbanites and out of town visitors to connect with all the upscale experiences that the businesses of Rittenhouse Row offer.
