This event, which dates back to 1934 (90 years!), is when residents of Elfreth’s Alley open their doors to allow visitors a glimpse of 21st-century life in these 18th- and 19th-century houses. Discover how generation after generation has continued to preserve, alter, and add to these historic structures.

There will be entertainment and history aplenty to enjoy as you walk by/inside the homes on the street. This year, we will welcome musical groups, reenactors, historians, vendors, and artisan crafters to share their passion for the Alley with guests! We are so excited to welcome you to the Alley this summer!

This event is a fundraiser for the Elfreth's Alley Association, which works to preserve the historic Elfreth's Alley and tell the stories of this place through the Elfreth's Alley Museum.
