On behalf of the entire PBCIP team, we extend a huge THANK YOU to everyone who helped make this year’s Haddon Avenue Street Festival “In the Park Edition” an incredible celebration of community, culture, pride and connection!
 
A special shout-out to Stories of a Colorful World for bringing our Kids Book Festival to life and creating a space where young readers could explore stories, celebrate representation, and let their imaginations soar.
 
Thank you to Curate Noir for leading our Small Business Resource Hub, connecting entrepreneurs and aspiring business owners with resources, relationships, and opportunities to support their continued growth. A big round of applause to Roots to Market for the sensational food demonstrations that brought flavor, fun, and healthy eating to the festival! Invincible Heroes showed up and showed out, bringing an impressive display of cars to Farnham Park and adding another level of excitement to the festival experience.
 
And we absolutely have to celebrate the phenomenal Ms. Tawanda Green, better known as WaWa, and The Mask Melanin Market for bringing together more than 70 dynamic entrepreneurs and vendors and showcasing the incredible talent, creativity, and entrepreneurial spirit of our regional community.
 
A special thank you to Red Door Music, our entertainment lead, for helping us create an amazing lineup and keeping the park filled with music and energy throughout the day. We also extend our gratitude to Marshzin Marketing for leading our promotional and marketing efforts and to Big Scott Entertainment providing invaluable social media support and helping us capture and share the excitement of the festival.
 
A very special THANK YOU to our EVENT SPONSORS! Your generous support and belief in the importance of community-centered events helped make this year’s festival possible. Your investment allowed us to provide a free day of music, entertainment, family activities, small-business resources, health and wellness services, food access, and community connection for residents and families throughout Camden and beyond. We are incredibly grateful for your partnership, your presence, and your continued commitment to investing in our community. We could not have done it without you!
 
And, of course, none of this happens without the entire PBCIP team. From months of planning and coordination to early-morning setup and everything that happened behind the scenes, our staff worked tirelessly to bring all the pieces together and create an experience worthy of our community. The Haddon Avenue Street Festival is more than an event, it is a celebration of Parkside pride, community, culture, entrepreneurship, partnership, and possibility. We’re proud of what we created together, and we’re already looking forward to building on this momentum and making next year’s celebration even bigger and better.
 
Parkside showed up……….and showed out! Until next year!
