South Boston Street Fest

One of South Boston’s favorite days of the year is almost here. The 26th South Boston Street Fest returns Saturday, September 19, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., bringing East Broadway between I and L streets to life with local businesses, live music, food, shopping, artists, family activities, and everything that makes South Boston such a special community. Presented by the South Boston Chamber of Commerce and South Boston Neighborhood Development Corporation (South Boston NDC), the Street Fest is more than a neighborhood festival. It is a day dedicated to celebrating and supporting the small businesses, organizations, and people who make South Boston what it is. Live Entertainment All Day Two stages will feature live entertainment throughout the day, including Shanel Sugar and Friends; Grace Marshall and the Heartland, performances from Michael Caputo’s MusicBall Entertainment featuring Neeley Luna, Dave Paquette, and the Louie Bello Band; Search Rhode Island finalists; and Thomas Park. New this year, the Street Fest is adding country line dancing from 603 Line Dancing at the Karen Stanley Stage near the South Boston Branch Library. The festival will also feature performances from Woods School of Irish Dance, Miss Linda’s School of Dance, St. George Albanian Orthodox Cathedral Boston youth group dancers, and the Laberia Society ESO singers, along with additional music, dance, and demonstrations throughout the afternoon. Something for the Whole Family The Street Fest is a family day, and there will be plenty happening for kids throughout the festival, including Touch-a-Truck, balloon twisters, face painting, pirates, the Bubble Fairy, and even K-Pop Demon Hunters. Visitors can also spend the afternoon shopping their way down East Broadway, discovering South Boston artists, meeting local nonprofits and community organizations, and taking advantage of special Street Fest offers from neighborhood businesses. And, of course, come hungry. The Street Fest will feature food from some of South Boston’s favorite restaurants and food businesses, including Roza Lyons, Deja Brew, Bottega del Sud, Capo Restaurant &amp; Supper Club, Common Craft, Fat Baby Sushi &amp; Cocktails, Hunter’s Kitchen &amp; Bar, Layla’s American Tavern, Lincoln Tavern, Lucky’s Lounge, Mei Mei Dumplings, PKL X Pig Beach BBQ, Playa Bowls, Publico Street Bistro, Sal’s Ristorante and Pizzeria, The Broadway, The Playwright, and Frios Gourmet Pops.
