Kensington Derby One Of Philly’s Most Outrageous Events Returns
Kensington Derby and Arts Festival
Looking for something to do with mom that’s out of the ordinary? The Kensington Derby, One Of Philly’s Most Outrageous Events Returns This Weekend.
The unique design competition and quirky community arts festival features hand-powered floats and crazy costumes.
The Kensington Derby and Arts Festival is one of the city’s wackiest spring events.
Just when you thought you’ve seen it all, this event is sure to shock and surprise.
Tens of thousands of spectators have been known to show up to the event to be witness to creative spirit and community pride.
It’s free to attend and pay-as-you-go and it’s all taking place this Saturday May 13th from noon to 6pm.
The parade will run down a three-mile, urban obstacle course through the East Kensington and Fishtown neighborhoods and end in a splash of mud.
The challenge? All parade pieces are prohibited from running on electricity and may not be pushed or pulled. They must otherwise be somehow operated by a human being.
They must also be able to move at least 3mph.
Talk about thinking outside the box!
The derby kicks off at 1 p.m. sharp. At 3 p.m., the Best Large Team, Best Small Team and People’s Choice will be awarded.

It will definitely be a Mother’s Day she’ll never forget, if you decided to bring mom to One Of Philly’s Most Outrageous Events that Returns This Weekend.
