As mentioned in Agenda and What's Cooking, the fifth annual Midtown Village Fall Festival is set to pop off tomorrow from noon to 8 p.m. festival goers will take in a full days worth of entertainment and food from Spruce to Market and 11th to Broad. Our quick-hit rundown of some participating bars/restaurants after the jump. - Raw (1225 Sansom St.) is hosting its now-traditional sumo wrestling competition. - Finn McCools (118 S. 12th St.) is running a dunk tank. - Jakes Sandwich Board (122 S. 12th St.) will have a whole pig outside the shop. (You can kiss the hog if you make a contribution to Jefferson Hospital.) - McGillins Old Ale House (1310 Drury St.) will have a street biergarten set up featuring nine taps (including Flying Fish OktoberFish, Victory Festbier and Stoudt's McGillins 1860 IPA), and they'll serve German sausage platters, sauerbraten and bratwurst sandwiches. - Sampan (124 S. 13th St.) will serve pork banh mi, beef satay, shrimp satay and chicken satay. - Tweed (114 S. 12th St.) will plate up both duck burgers and meatball sandwiches. - At Barbuzzo (110 S. 13th St.), they'll do sheep's milk ricotta with figs, vin cotto and grilled bread and lamb meatballs. - Barbuzzo's sister restaurants, Bindi (103 S. 13th St.) and Lolita (106 S. 13th St.), will serve chicken tikka masala and saag paneer; and chili/cheese tamales with red peanut chicken mole or vegetable guajillo filling, respectively. - Other participants to check out include Vintage, El Vez, Fuel, Bar and Zavino; and don't forget to stop into APO for one last Booty Collins before they hang up their bar towels for good. - Definitely stop by the Little Villagers Festival, run by Alex's Lemonade Stand. They'll offer $1 tickets to cash in for face-painting, carnival games, crafting and more, and 100 percent of the proceeds will benefit the non-profit.
