Clark Park Music and Arts Festival at Clark Park Sept. 18

When it comes to music festivals in Philly parks, Clark Park is easily among the most legendary of locations. And with events like Best Fest, it has dropped some serious winners in the past. But Clark Park is set to celebrate a new milestone by ringing in the 40th anniversary of its Fall Equinox Festival, and with it comes a diverse lineup of musicians. Rocker regulars The Spades will bring their guitar driven southern krunked metal to the field, while the blues man who can be seen rocking Tritone every Monday night, Shakey Lyman, will be waxing poetry from the soul. West Philly improv jazz masters Dr. Ketchup will be bringing a freestyle driven set. American psychobilly roots artists No! Go! Tell! will also be impressing the crowd with their eclectic set. But rounding out the lineup will be two legendary bands, McRad and West Philly mainstays Stinking Lizaveta, who have seldom crossed paths in the past. So seeing these icons bring it on the small stage of the Dog Bowl is certainly a rare treat! Clark Park Music and Arts Fall Equinox Festival, 43rd and Chester, 12pm, FREE, All Ages
