Getting to StrEAT Food Festival

If you’re headed to the festival, SEPTA is a great way to ensure you arrive on time. Manayunk or Wissahickon Stations on the Manayunk/Norristown Line of Regional Rail will bring you within walking distance of Main Street.

If you’re taking PATCO into Philadelphia from New Jersey, riders can take Regional Rail to travel to StrEAT Food Festival. Exit PATCO at 8th & Market Street. Follow the signs in the concourse, which will lead you to SEPTA’s Jefferson Station. From there, board an outbound train on the Manayunk/Norristown Line.

You can also use plan.septa.org for real-time trip planning to and from the event.
