PHOTOS: The 2016 PFCU Kensington Kinetic Sculpture Derby and Arts Festival


The New Kensington Community Development Corporation (NKCDC) and the East Kensington Neighbors Association (EKNA) teamed up for another year of the Philadelphia Federal Credit Union Kensington Kinetic Sculpture Derby and Arts Festival on Saturday, May 21.

Despite the rain and mud, the derby drew and large crowd of residents and visitors into the burgeoning Frankford Avenue Arts Corridor. The derby is a design competition and parade of human-powered vehicle floats striving for either Best Art, Best Costume, Best Engineering, Best Breakdown or the highly coveted Judge’s Choice Award.

The arts festival on Trenton Avenue and Norris Street consisted of 200+ local arts and food vendors. This is the 10.5th year (11th for arts festival and 10 for the derby) NKCDC and EKNA have hosted this community event, which now draws 15,000 to Kensington each year.

Here’s our photo and video coverage of the event.
