On June 4, 2022, the Elfreth’s Alley Association will hold its annual Fete Day celebration. This is an event which dates back to 1934, in which residents of Elfreth’s Alley open their doors to allow visitors a glimpse of 21st century life in these 18th- and 19th-century houses. Discover how generation after generation have continued to preserve, alter and add to these historic structures.
Stay tuned for more details about other entertainment, concessions, and refreshments to come.
Note: Visitors are expected to wear masks when entering private houses.
This event is a fundraiser for the Elfreth's Alley Association, which works to preserve this historic street and tell the stories of this place through the Elfreth's Alley Museum (at houses #124 and #126) and events throughout the year. There are a variety of ways to support our organization, including volunteering at events and in the museum, shopping in our gift shop, and donating if you can.
