Elmwood Park's Community Day Festival

Market Street is transformed into a giant block party, with quality exhibitors, a special arts and crafts section, live entertainment, kiddie rides and games, great festival foods, food trucks, and so much more.
As you stroll along, stop to have a bite to eat and sit at tables in the live music area. See the show we have planned with live music, games, free rides, food, vendors, giveaways and more.
Come hungry and enjoy eating carnival food favorites like a sausage & pepper sandwich, cheese steaks, kettle corn, chicken fingers, ice cream, zeppole, shish kabobs, gyros, fresh-cut fries, fresh-squeezed lemonade, Italian ice, and the many great gourmet foods from the food trucks.
The “Kid’s Traveling Shindig” is dedicated to children with kiddie bounce rides (the bounce houses for the kids are no cost) and interactive blow-ups, face painters, sand art & kids’ games.
