"Manayunk StrEAT Food Festival is one of the most anticipated springtime traditions in Philadelphia and in Pennsylvania," said Manayunk Development Corporation Events Coordinator Caitlin Marsilii. "We are thrilled to bring the event back for 2024 with one of our largest line-ups ever - with 70+ food trucks and gourmet vendors. We wanted to really go big this year as we host our year-long Manayunk Bicentennial Celebration."

She continued, "We are always excited to bring the region's award-winning food truck scene right to the heart of Manayunk. It is the perfect pairing with our thriving restaurant scene. We have worked hard over the years to curate the right mix of cuisines, dishes, traditions and vendors - and we hope that everyone will find something truly delicious at StrEAT. We can't wait to see you on historic Main Street on April 21st."

Manayunk StrEAT Food Festival is the first big blockbuster festival of the spring season in Philadelphia. The outdoor, rain-or-shine event will feature some of the most award-winning food trucks and mobile vendors from Philadelphia, Central PA, South Jersey, Delaware and beyond.

Menu offerings this year will include pizza, tacos, lobster, burgers, ravioli, dumplings, pickles, pound cake, corn on a stick, bacon on a stick, grilled cheese, wok bowls, and much, much more. Visitors will find something for every palate, with tried and true favorites, twists on classics, and modern dishes picture perfect for the 'gram.'

In addition to outdoor food and sips, visitors can also enjoy live music from six different acts playing throughout the festival at the Shurs Lane and Green Lane Stages. Look for a who's who of the local music scene, with acts including The Tisburys, Maggie Mae, Stella Ruze, Emily Drinker, Henry Golden, and Blank Pages.
