Summer Solstice Festival at Kimmel Center June 19

I’m a less-is-more gal (well, for certain things), but when I guess that you are as big as the Kimmel Center and hoping to fill it all day and evening on a day where there is an abundance of things to do, more is better (for them). Well, I know that you might want to get away from the children’s face painting and adult contemporary stuff. Luckily, you can take a quick stroll to the Molestice Block Party (N. Mole St. between 15th/16th and Race/Cherry Sts.) from the Kimmel Center and grab a glass of home-brewed beer while listening to tunes that make you feel young again. Don’t worry – you’ll make it back in time to catch Philly’s Queen B of Hip Hop Bahamadia. Looks like the female protégée of Gangstarr’s Guru (R.I.P.) is back on the scene, and she’ll be dropping her fourth global release HERE this summer. Other things that might make you want to pop in: Toy Soldiers, The Philadelphia Ukulele Orchestra, Gina Ferrera, The ReBel Yell, PhillyBloco and The Fleeting Ends as well as First Person Arts Story Slam and Bob & Barabara’s Drag Show. Kimmel Center, 260 S. Broad St., 3pm – Dawn, All Ages – H.M. Kauffman
