 In June, McMichael Park was a sea of tables groaning under the weight of bargains to be snatched up during the Annual Flea Market sponsored by the East Falls Community Council. Over 2,000 people enjoyed a beautiful day while the EFCC raised funds to be distributed to neighborhood organizations and individuals that offer ways to benefit East Falls.

So, you had a taste of summer over the Memorial Day weekend! Well, wasn’t it wonderful? Looking for more action?
East Falls has two great events in June, held annually, each very different and both loads of fun! 
Bike Race Block Party
Set yourself up at the river’s edge on Sunday, June 6th at the East Falls Development Corp’s Bike Race Block Party to enjoy the world famous International Pro Cycling Classic. Ten circuits (twenty times), you can watch hundreds of the world’s best cyclists whip past the community gateway, Kelly Drive and Midvale Avenue, pedaling at breakneck speed to the infamous Manayunk Wall—and back again—a grueling 14.4 miles each circuit! The day also includes the Liberty Classic with more than 100 women cyclists competing. This 57.6-mile race consists of four laps of the same circuit with four steep climbs up the Manayunk Wall.  Ring those bells, cheer ’til you’re hoarse, then refresh yourself with a spin around our Block Party with its many community and business booths lining the roadway, from Midvale Ave. to Ferry Road. Lots of children’s activities and a health fair bigger and better than previous years will line East Park Drive with a Beer Garden for the “over twenty-oners” under the Twin Bridges, thanks to The Pour House, Billy Murphy’s Saloonery and the Philadelphia Canoe Club!
