Join us for the Philadelphia Caribbean Festival, featuring authentic island sounds of reggae, roots, international beat, soca, cool jazz, steel band music, and creative dances complemented by a marketplace of Caribbean fashions, jewelry, and exotic cuisines. Plus, kids can participate in the Caribbean Children’s Village, featuring face painting, bead-making, balloon animals, bean bags, and other games.

Parking on-site will be limited due to I-95 CAP construction. However, many great ways to access the Waterfront include walking and biking along the Delaware River Trail, rideshare, and public transit.
