| Festival bar revs up |
Live Arts/Fringe Fest kicks off tonight, with performances that take artists out of their element, like Urban Scuba and Felon Fiercely's Open Mic in Hell, to Michael-Jackson inspired comedic meditations on fame (Joe Penhall's Dumb Show). Peep our picks in this week's cover story.
After you take in some culture, take in some liquid fun at the pop-up Festival Bar (626 N. Fifth St.), located in a massive space on the southwest corner of Fifth and Fairmount. Perennial publican and sponsor of the arts Fergie Carey (Monk's Caf�, Fergie's Pub, Belgian Caf�) is again orchestrating the party in the 6,000-square-foot warehouse, hosting visual art and media installations designed and programmed by Philadelphia Open Studios Tour and local artists.
A chiller, loungey atmosphere prevails Sunday through Wednesday, when the bar opens at 9 p.m., but things get a bit more art-school dance party on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, when DJs start sets at 11 p.m.
Festival bar runs nightly, September 4-19 only. Scope the DJ schedule after the jump.
