The Kensington Derby & Arts Festival celebrates the creativity and spirit of our community, showcasing local artists, live art demonstrations, and music from Great Circle DJs along Frankford Avenue in the Kennington section. Enjoy delicious food, a vibrant makers market, and family fun, including face painting and costume contests for kids and pets, all highlighting the neighborhood’s unique artistic energy. Derby teams construct wild, human-powered vehicles, no motors or electricity allowed, and follow a procession that culminates with a splash in the renowned mud pit! Plus, this year will be Awful Wrestling, you will have to see it to believe it!
