Food trucks, craft brews and more at Oct. 24 Bloktoberfest
 |
Meal Ticket just touched base with Bloktoberfest co-organizer Josh Dubin to get a few details on this new, free-admission neighborhood food/beer/concert event, scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 24, on the 2000 block of Christian Street. A more music-focused rendition of last year's SWCC Rock 'n' Run, Bloktoberfest will bring together acts like The Love Language and Adam Arcuragi with national craft breweries and local eats.
Food-wise, Dubin says they're in the process of getting a number of Philly food trucks involved in the hopes they'll set up shop for the event. And co-organizer Adam Ritter, co-owner of The Sidecar, has worked to confirm participation from seven breweries so far: Bell's, Flying Dog, Lancaster, Left Hand, New Holland, Sly Fox and Stoudt's. Each will bring two beers, one Oktoberfest/fall-style and one flagship and/or wildcard, meaning we'll have a minimum of 14 brews to choose from.
The organizers have struck up a partnership with Shiloh Baptist Church (2040 Christian St.) to spearhead the festivities � in exchange for the church signing off on a one-day liquor license to bring all the beer in for the day, liquor sale proceeds will go toward a structural revitalization fund for the church. Dubin hopes the event will raise overall awareness of the stunning space, which was designed by Frank Furness.
Whoa! This is my neighborhood. I'm very excited!
Hey everyone, be sure to visit the festival website for more details and updates! http://www.bloktoberfestphilly.com Can't wait to see you all on the 24th!

Very exciting! Hope this turns into an annual event!
BLOKTOBERFEST is on, no matter the weather! We'll have two dozen tents set up all over the block, and the stage has a roof! Rain dates are for SISSIES! Staying inside makes you soft and weak; BEER MAKES YOU STRONG!
