Annual Fête Day At Elfreth's Alley

Take a walk back in time during Philly's annual Fête Day celebration, which is held on historic Elfreth Alley, the nation's oldest residential street. During the Sunday event, folks in traditional Colonial garb stroll the cobble stones and conduct their affairs like they would have done in 1702. In addition, many of the Alley's historic, 300-year-old homes are open for public touring, making Fête Day a rare occasion, indeed. Fête proceeds go to benefit Elfreth's Alley Museum and its many educational programs.
