Where to Celebrate, Eat, and Drink This Fall
PHILADELPHIA - Oktoberfest season has officially arrived in Philadelphia, bringing massive open-air block parties, traditional Bavarian polka bands, artisan markets, and limited-edition seasonal brews to neighborhood corridors. As detailed in our ultimate fall beer and festival guide, the city's autumn calendar pairs time-honored German traditions with modern street-fair energy, creating celebrations tailored for serious craft beer lovers, casual weekend strollers, and families alike.
Philadelphia Chinatown - Beyond the colorful Friendship Arch at 10th and Arch Streets lies Philly's vibrant Asian enclave, settled in the mid-19th century by Cantonese immigrants. Stretching from Vine to Arch Streets between 9th and 12th Streets, the neighborhood is packed end to end with restaurants and stores that represent Hong Kong, Cantonese, Fujianese, Northern Sichuan, and Taiwanese cultures, with a sprinkling of Korean, Thai, Malaysian, Burmese, Vietnamese, and hipster thrown in for good measure.
