HampdenFest

Ok, so it's HampdenFest this Saturday, September 15th, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. It's going to be huge. 15,000 people are expected.

The festival takes place on The Avenue, between Chestnut and Falls Road. There are two stages and a slew of vendors and activities between them.

There's great music (one of the real highlights of this festival,) and as I've pointed out before, the website does a fantastic job of linking to band's websites and offering mp3's, so you can really plan your day. There is, of course, Hampden Idol.

There will be activities for kids, beer from Brewer's Art and art & crafts for sale from a variety of local/regional artists. Don't forget that stores and restaurants are open too, and it's a great day to go into that new store you've always wanted to visit.

There's something for everyone!

Hawker's gonna be there, snapping photos and taking names.

Don't miss it!
