Philly Fun Fishing Fest

Enjoy a morning of free catch-and-release fishing and friendly competition on Schuylkill Banks! Fishing Fest is ADA accessible and is perfect for anglers of all ages and levels of experience. No fishing license is required during the fishing competition and fishing gear will be available for use on a first-come, first-served basis.

We are bringing back face painting and other fun festivities this year thanks to support from One Riverside Condominium Association!

This program is brought to you by the Philadelphia Water Department, Philadelphia Parks & Recreation, the PA Fish and Boat Commission and SRDC.

ADA access to the event is via the Market Street Ramp, Chestnut Street Ramp, at-grade railroad crossing at Locust Street, and the Schuylkill River Parks Connector Bridge.
