This weekend, Vendemmia returns to Girard Park
Vendemmia is the name of the Italian fall grape harvest. It’s also a South Philly scholarship foundation whose annual festival is on the calendar for this Sunday, Sept. 25. Now in its 15th year, the vino-soaked bash returns to historic Girard Park (21st and 22nd, Porter and Shunk streets) after spending the last few years in the parking lot of the Eagles’ NovaCare practice facility. The South Philly-fabulous festival's centerpiece is a contest between local winemakers, but there’s also live music and food stalls from local restaurants. Most of the attendees BYOB and BYOF, too, and lay out elaborate picnic spreads. (Cacia's tomato pie is always popular with my family.) General admission tickets are $40 and are available through PayPal on the Vendemmia website; you can also ball with a 10-top for $400.
