DESCRIPTION:Families are warmly invited to discover the Southeast Asian Market in FDR Park\, a Philadelphia tradition over 35 years in the making\, officially opening for the 2026 season on Saturday\, April 4 and open every weekend until October 31. \nMore than a market\, this vibrant community space is rooted in the stories of Lao\, Khmer\, Thai\, Vietnamese\, and Indonesian refugee and immigrant communities who have made FDR Park their home.
