Frankford Festival: were you there?
The 2009 Frankford Festival was this weekend – a nice treat after having been rained out the weekend before.
Held at Overington Park at Leiper and Overington streets, the festival featured live music, a petting zoo, a moon bounce and perhaps most anticipated: the Northeast Philly Idol contestants.
