Summer Solstice Ice Cream Social at PhilaMOCA June 21

Lake Butterscotch is ready to celebrate Summer Solstice right tonight with an epic Ice Cream Social sponsored by Little Baby’s Ice Cream and Narragansett. PhilaMOCA will be decked out with beach balls and palm trees and fully prepared for a night of fun and music for all ages (but with comedian/storyteller extraordinaire Juliet Hope Wayne as MC, you may have to prepare the little ones with some ear muff moments). Also with the evening being centered around festive foods, chefs and food bloggers The Really Cooks are the perfect addition to the lineup. And since they blew away PhilaMOCA with the Dr. Lemonade Stand album release party, they definitely know how to rock the venue into a frenzy. Arctic Splash (which features members of The Trouble with Sweeney, An American Chinese, and The Situation) will be headlining the festivities, which will be rounded out by the soulfully funky beats of Attia Taylor and the turbo-charged guitar rock of Shorty boy-boy. PhilaMOCA, 531 N. 12th St., 7pm, $8, All Ages – Bill McThrill
