We always look forward to 2nd Street Festival. Like we’ve mention before, it’s the closest feeling that we get in Philly to hanging out in the streets of Nawlins. While its pretty obvious this year’s headliner The Low Anthem will have a difficult time matching the energy of their predecessors tUnE-yArDs and Man Man, the recruitment of hometown favorites like Vacationer, On the Water, West Philadelphia Orchestra, The Bailey Hounds, Mohican, Weird Hot, Banned Books, Laser Background and many others will keep things plenty fun and interesting this Sunday. Check out the full schedule above, and we look forward to seeing you out and about this weekend. 2nd Street Festival, N. 2nd St. (between Green & Germantown Sts.), 12pm – 10pm, Free, All Ages – H.M. Kauffman
Weekend Warrior, August 2 – 4
