Penn Treaty's Final Friday Concert & Fireworks

Fishtown’s Penn Treaty Park is back in closing out its Fantastic Friday Concert Series this Friday, August 26, with an end of summer jam session and fireworks.

Taking the stage at 6:30pm for a free show will be Fusebox, an local alt-rock group playing covers of classic and southern rock favorites.

Bring a chair, blanket, snacks and sips and enjoy the free show, followed by a fireworks display over the Delaware river at 9pm.

Trenton Ave Arts Festival & Kinetic Kensington Derby Saturday!

Speaking of the underdogs, the Trenton Ave Arts Festival is also going on this weekend, Saturday, May 21, from 12p.m. – 5p.m. The 6th annual arts fest will feature crafters, vendors, food and the most interesting event of the year – the Kensington Kinetic Sculpture Derby.

This bicycle powered soap-box race on artistic steroids is one of the most anticipated events of the weekend. The derby starts at 12:30p.m. The human powered design competition is as much about crossing the finish line as it is about how teams look doing it, so come out and support a great neighborhood tradidion.

I’ll be there, hunting down Gritty City for their amazing soy candles. I have to admit, I’m addicted!
