RiverCity Festival Rain or Shine at Penn Treaty Park Oct. 11

Penn Treaty Park has one last dose of exciting outdoor action when it hosts its 7th Annual RiverCity Festival today to benefit the Fishtown Neighbors Association. And it will feature over 100 local art and food vendors selling their goods within the park, as well as plenty of family-friendly activities like Tangle Arts Movement and the Philadelphia Zoo on Wheels. There will be libations from the likes of Saint Benjamin Brewing and Philly Homebrew Outlet. However, the main attraction is the huge helping of local music happening throughout the day that includes a special headlining performance by Matt Pond. American Diamond Recordings will be well-represented when The Lawsuits perform songs from their latest Tumbled, TJ Kong and the Atomic Bomb deliver tracks from their most recent EP KONG, and Levee Drivers preview what they’ve been working on in the studio for their upcoming album. The rest of the festival lineup will be rounded out by Pine Barons, Ginger Coyle, and Katie Barbato. In case you were wondering if the weather will prevent the event from happening, here’s a message from the festival’s Facebook page: “This jawn is rain or shine, yo, the bands’ll rock, beer will flow.” Penn Treaty Park, 1199 N.
