East Passyunk's Flavors on the Avenue expands to street festival

The annual Flavors on the Avenue - the afternoon of Sunday, April 30 - will become a five-block street festival this year, as it expands from the tented setup in years past.

Its epicenter is the Singing Fountain at the intersection of 11th Street, Tasker Street, and Passyunk Avenue. Hours are noon to 5 p.m.

Chefs from 27 participating restaurants will serve dishes in front of their restaurants, and there will be lots of free kids' activities and a crafters' market.
