| TABLE ONLY SPACES LEFT!!! There are no spaces left for 10 foot tents/popups. If you don't call now you will not get a space at the Festival. New this year at the festival will be the food ramp with 9 food vendors. We are also bringing in ten (10) portable bathrooms to augment the Penn's Landing facilities. Less time in line this year! |

PEOPLE WATCH!!!!!! |
We are unveiling a new food area which we call the "Food Ramp." It is located along the long sloping "Walk of Firsts" which is the back wall of the Great Plaza. The following food vendors will be there: Beka's Foods, Festival Food, Innovative Catering, Maui Wowi, N&A Catering, Sherri's Crab Cakes, Stella Jeanes Festival Foods, Three Thai Sushi. Other food servers, such as Dog Gone Dog and Irish Ice are on the plaza itself. We have never had so many food vendors. Penn's Landing has completed their renovation in this area and it is now fully planted with new park benches. Save your calories for June 10. We are bringing in portable bathrooms to augment the Penn's Landing Facilities (all our facilities are Unisex).
Home Depot will be building bird houses in the Family Zone with the kids. Get a free child's I.D. bracelet from New York Life, also in the Family Zone.
All participating organizations will be listed as they return their applications. Our on-line application has been removed as we have reached capacity. Please call the Pride office if you still wish to attend.

The Community makes us what we are! The participation of all community groups make our event truly spectacular. |
