Roxtoberfest 2025
Roxborough’s 13th Annual fall street festival will feature a day full of family fun.
This event will have the traditional feel of a German beer fest, including performances by Galena Brass Band, circus performers, competitions, an array of food trucks, a mini classic car show with the Ridge Runners, and a market from Fleisher Art Memorial, El l Mercardo featuring Latinx artisans. Also returning is the Scarecrow Walk and Scarecrow Build in Gorgas Park. This year, the Friends of Gorgas Park are bringing back their scarecrow-making event.
Everyone who loves Roxborough is welcomed onto Ridge Avenue between Lyceum and Leverington Avenues, with sidewalk activations extending from Leverington Avenue to Hermitage Street, connecting Roxtoberfest to the family fun at Gorgas Park.
