Over 20,000 people came out yesterday for the second annual Old City Fest. The lively fall festival featured food, drink, arts and crafts vendors, tables of vintage goods, Historic Philadelphia storytellers, a stage with live music, fashion shows, and carnival attractions like stilt walkers and face painting. To show off the neighborhood, all of the vendors who participated were from or associated with Old City — but the crowds came from all over.

Old City galleries and boutiques opened their doors wide and set sale racks out front. Many of the restaurants sold out of food.
