Manayunk is a quaint, historic town nestled along the banks of the Schuylkill River and the Manayunk Canal. Located just minutes from Center City, King of Prussia and the Main Line, the region is home to more than 13 million people. Manayunk was given the distinction of being named a National Historic District in 1983. If that honor weren’t enough, in 2008, Manayunk was declared a “Classic Town” by the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission and the City of Philadelphia.
Main Street Manayunk is a truly unique destination, and serves as a perfect location for the Arts Festival. This is one event that is not to be missed!
