Arts street fair taking place on Broad

The Philadelphia International Festival of the Arts is celebrating its street fair Saturday on Broad Street in Center City - between Chestnut and South Streets.

The free block party started at 11 a.m. and lasts until 7 p.m.

It features dozens of performances, rides, a zip line, food and an enormous waterfall - in the center of Broad Street.

The event serves as the culmination of the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts' festival, which started April 8 and showcased various local and international performances and installations in various locations in the city.
