JUST DO IT: POP Music Festival on Saturday

The Weeds

Green thumbs will be plucking guitar strings at Liberty Lands this weekend. The Philadelphia Orchard Project is hosting a concert on Saturday in an effort to promote fresh veggies, gardening and the pursuit of green spaces. The concert which will showcase local artists like The Weeds and the West Philly Orchestra doubles as a fundraiser to germinate some George Washington's to support the community's go green initiative. Go green junkies can learn about the POP's volunteer opportunities as well as how to go about producing fresh fruits and vegetables for city dwellers. Right now they're cultivating awareness, the tomatoes come later. Sat., July 17, 2:30-8:30 p.m., free, with The Mean, Betty Iron Thumbs, The Weeds, Elder Brother and West Philadelphia Orchestra, Liberty Lands Park, Northern Liberties, phillyorchards.org.

Just a quick clarification. The event, while open to the public, is not exactly free.

There is a suggested minimum donation of $5 for kids and designated drivers, and for those parking in the Philadelphia Brewing Company beer we're requesting a minimum $15 donation.

Thanks and hope to see you there!

Ahem... I meant, those "partaking" in beer... not parking in it!
