The South 9th Street Italian Market Festival In Philadelphia, PA Was Held On May 19, 2013

Once again, and for the third year in a row, I attended the South 9th Street Italian Market Festival in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I showed up on day two, Sunday, May 19, 2013.  As usual, there were many people in attendance, street musicians and plenty of souvenirs to purchase.

I saw a guy dancing around and I, and a number of other people, took photographs and video footage of him ...

Here are Tomato Pie slices of pizza. Toward the end of the event, I heard a vendor announce that all food is $1 each. I asked if the Tomato Pie is made with eggs or milk and a co-worker told me no, it is totally vegan so I said, "I'll take three!".  The business' card is included in the photo ...

Here are some items I bought (the CD is a bootleg or an incredibly low-budget disc by a supposed company called Roma):
