Want something to do this Saturday? Come out and support me, my mom, the East Kensington Neighborhood Association, and hundreds of other great local artists, galleries, organizations, food vendors and more at the 5th annual Trenton Avenue Arts Festival.
There will be music all day and lots and lots of unique art to buy. The day will start out with a type of derby you have probably never heard of… the 4th annual Kensington Kinetic Sculpture Derby. I know, I’ve been hearing about it for months and still don’t know what it will be exactly. I think it may just be one of those things you have to see to believe, or in this case, comprehend. Pretty much, people ride a parade route on human powered vehicles (i.e. must have wheels) ending with a run through a giant mud pit. Leave it to Philly, huh?
For a full list of artists and the band line up visit the Festival blog at: http://trentonaveartsfest.blogspot.com/. My mom and I will be selling amazing hand-crafted jewelry and other vintage/antique oddities for amazing prices. I would say look for the big white tents, but there will probably be hundreds of those, so I will say, look for the awesome colorful jewelry booths in the middle of the street 2/3 of the way between Susquehanna and Dauphin on Trenton Avenue! Bring you money, your sunscreen, your walking shoes, and a huge smile! See you Saturday!
