PHILADELPHIA (CBS) --  The fifth annual Second Street Festival takes place in Northern Liberties this Sunday, August 4th.

"The 2nd Street Festival is a seven-block block party. It takes place every year," says festival director Nicky Devine (below).  "It includes mostly craft and food vendors, and then we have big beer gardens."

"We're doing some real traditional things along with slight twists," says chef Al Paris of Coastal Blue, in the Hotel Icona on Diamond Beach.  "I'm doing beach bonfire mussels with choriso.  I'm doing beautiful Maine lobster rolls and lobster bisque. We have a beautiful daily-made gaspacho with roaster shrimp."
