By Justin Udo

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Food trucks, restaurants and vendors took over Old City Philadelphia on Thursday night as part of their Night Market program.

KYW's Justin Udo was there taking in the sights, sounds and food.

From crab cakes and sweet potato fries, to corn on the cob and an assortment of chicken dishes there was no shortage of aromas that filled the air throughout the festival, that stretched down 3rd and Arch streets.

The thousands that packed streets were treated to a live music performance, a photo booth as well as a ticket raffle.
