The Clark Park Music and Arts Festival returns to the Dog Bowl for its Autumn Equinox edition. And as usual, it will have an eclectic assortment of vendors, food trucks, and kids activities to go along with a day filled with live music. This year, the fest will be partnering up with Spiral Q Puppet Theater to throw a puppet pageant parade, and there will be a food drive for Philabundance. The music lineup will feature nine local acts and Portland, Maine-based singer-songwriter Max Garcia Conover, who is currently touring in support of his new album, Ellery. Headlining the event will be Katie Frank & The Pheromones, who have been steadily gaining admirers since releasing their debut full-length Counting Your Curses earlier this year. West Philly-based folk rockers Flat Mary Road will be in support with material from their new album The Great Talk, along with folk outfit Heat Thunder, who has a new single out entitled “River Song.” Since the rain caused him to miss his performance during the Rally For Rock Fest last weekend at Franklin Square, Kuf Knotz has agreed to perform a special set, and will be armed with material from his upcoming LP, A POSITIVE LIGHT. Don’t miss this opportunity to enjoy a beautiful, relaxing day outside. Clark Park, 43rd St. & Chester Ave., 12pm, Free, All Ages – H.M. Kauffman
