What to know

  • •Tickets are at Ticketleap, and it happens rain or shine.

Our experience

One Saturday a year, the families who live on Elfreth's Alley, the oldest continuously lived-on residential street in the country, open their 18th-century front doors and let you walk through. There is a costume corner and activities for the kids, plus reenactors, artisans, and music up and down the block. It runs 1 to 5, rain or shine, and the $25 ticket is a fundraiser that keeps the street standing.
