The Philadelphia Orchard Project’s mission is to plant orchards in the city of Philadelphia that grow healthy food, green spaces and community food security. They work with community-based groups and volunteers to provide useful and edible plants. These orchards are planted in formerly vacant lots, community gardens, schoolyards, and other spaces targeting low-wealth neighborhoods where people lack access to fresh fruits. If this sounds like a worthwhile cause to you, then you can do your part today by attending their 3rd Annual “POP” Music Fest. This year’s fundraiser at Liberty Lands Park will feature local acts Faux Slang (check out our review for their latest self-titled EP HERE), Eric Carbonara + Jesse Sparhawk, Zillions + Blood Like Mine, The Old Fashioneds, and Pile of Girls as well as the Fish n’ Chips DJs who are all generously donating their time and talents. There will also be beer provided by Philadelphia Brewing Co. and food from Honest Tom’s Taco Truck, Dapper Dog, and Buttercream Cupcake. So take advantage of some nice weather and come out to help beautify Philly (God knows we need it)! Liberty Lands Park, 3rd St. between Poplar St. & Wildey St., 2pm – 8pm, $15, All Ages – H.M.
