Celebrating Philadelphia’s Latine Community

Feria del Barrio is the largest festival in Philadelphia presented by a coalition of organizations dedicated to promoting art, culture, education, health, economic development, and community. The annual 2024 Feria is scheduled for Sunday, September 8, 2024 from 12pm – 4:30pm. Feria promotes the work of community organizations that have served our neighborhood for decades, it’s a space where artists can share their creativity and the community can come together to celebrate our culture. This festival is central to our community, and we are excited to celebrate again in 2024. We hope you will join us at the famed El Centro de Oro (the Golden Block) as the community gathers to enjoy a family-friendly outdoor celebration with artists, performances, vendors, and more. We look forward to seeing you there! THIS IS A RAIN OR SHINE EVENT!

The History

Now in its 40^th year, Feria is presented and produced by Taller Puertorriqueño in partnership with Asociación de Puertorriqueños en Marcha (APM), Congreso de Latino Unidos, HACE, Raíces Culturales Latinoamericanas. It is the largest event presented by a coalition of organizations dedicated to promoting  art, culture, education, health, economic development and community. Feria is a well-known and attended event, rich with culture and opportunities for businesses and organizations to reach the community.

Since 1979, La Feria del Barrio has celebrated Latino culture, family, and the economic and educational aspirations of the people of North Philadelphia with live Latine music, dancing, food, arts, crafts, and more

Feria has increased opportunities for artists, promoted civic engagement, attracted new audiences, and built new relationships with other arts and community organizations.  It has also helped create an environment for improved economic and commercial activity. Since Feria del Barrio happens in the heart of Latino Philadelphia at El Centro de Oro,  the business and arts district, its economic benefits impact this corridor and community directly. The partner organizations keep Reria a family-friendly destination with activities for children and entertainment for all ages.

Without support from local businesses, vendors, and corporate sponsors Feria can’t go on.  With the help of hundreds of volunteers, organizers clean the streets, move tables, set up booths, etc., costing much less than other such festivals. We have developed respectful relationships to guarantee a safe, family-oriented, and trouble-free event that benefits the local community and attracts new visitors to the area. For Feria to succeed it must rely on all our supporters. As a corporate sponsor or vendor, your business can capitalize on and be part of the strength and pride that Latine arts and culture bring.  And with your aid, we will sustain and increase the growth of the North Philadelphia community. Feria has hosted thousands of guests each year–and this year will be better than ever.
