Our experience

Campbell Square gives over five hours to dough. The 8th annual Pierogi Fest brings out some of the oldest Polish restaurants in Port Richmond alongside 100-plus vendors, food trucks and local artisans, with live music through the afternoon. Entry is free and you pay as you go for food. The kids section has carnival games, sand art, face painting, darts and a fun house, so there is somewhere for them to go once they are done eating. It is a small neighborhood park, so you can do the whole thing in one loop.
