Saturday Events in Northern Liberties

$10 bottomless beer, a music festival and a Rib Cook-off all on one afternoon!? It is almost too much for my local brew and grill lovin’ self! Northern Liberties is bound to be a great time this coming Saturday, September 13th!

Start your day off right with the 2nd Annual Northern Liberties Rib Cook-off at the corner of Bodine and George Sts. How often do you get to go to a Rib Cook-off? I can’t even fathom the things that might happen there? Rib cookin’, rib eatin’, rib throwin’, rib buyin’, rib sellin’… you name it! And with a mere $25 at the door… that is a meat eatin’ dream! 4 pm on Saturday - for more info contact Shannon Dougherty at shannon@afullplate.net.

And then… after you have eaten up all those finger lickin’ tasty ribby snacks, head on over to dance with your bottomless cup at the Northern Liberties Music Festival happening at Liberty Lands (on 3rd Street between Poplar and Wildey) from 4 to 10 pm. Proceeds benefit the new Northern Liberties Community Center and the NLNA office! Good job Philadelphia Brewing Company for the beer donation! For more info on this great event contact Larry Freeman at larryfreedman@comcast.net.

Happy Anniversary Arcadia Boutique!

Oh lovely boutique, how we love thee! Your fabulous fashion and delightful design would be enough for us to be smitten, but then you go on and throw in your enviro-conscious green offerings to boot! Swoon my eco-friendly heart! Everyone out there should come on over to the party for Arcadia’s One Year Anniversary! Join the Northern Liberties crowd on September 12th from 6-10 pm to celebrate with a great sale, “green” snacks, music by DJ John Redden, and the opening reception for the new Art@Acadia show featuring local artist Sienna Freeman. The window display by The Other Woman Collective screams flashy oh-so-arty tea party, but without the attitude. This is one not to miss!

Danes Do Green!

Ok I admit it. I have a bias toward the Danish people and their totally awesome country. They just really know what they are doing over there… which you would expect because they have been doing it so much longer than we have in the good ole US of A. Denmark is full of green roofing, energy efficient buildings and appliances, and wind turbines, and it isn’t even necessarily innovative to the people there. When I get all excited about it they look at me like, isn’t this how it is everywhere? We aren’t there yet, but hey we’re really trying in Philadelphia! Check out these awesome LEED certified green projects in Northern Liberties — these are the real deal people, not sorta green, not “bamboo flooring”… these are practically DANISH - now that’s sayin’ something!

Penn Treaty Park, Fishtown and Champagne!

How can you pass up an event that requests you “step out in your snappy dress?” You must go to this great party The Friends of Penn Treaty Park are putting on, complete with bubbly and The Butch Ballard Jazz Trio on Friday, September 5th from 6-8:30 pm. For those of you unfamiliar with Penn Treaty park, what a great overlooked spot in Philadelphia’s Fishtown neighborhood! Besides being right on the river with a large lawn, and a full view of the Ben Franklin Bridge, this is the spot where William Penn made his famous Treaty of Friendship with the chief of the Lenape Turtle Clan, Chief Tamenend. The Treaty has been celebrated through the ages as a universal symbol of religious and civil liberties. What’s not to support about that? Plus as the summer winds down and the weather gets cooler, it is making for some gorgeous nights in Philadelphia.  Bubbly, jazz, people, lawn… snappy dress? Go!
