| Think he got a shad? |
You may be a little overwhelmed by the lavish events coverage that The Clog has been pouring on you today. Well, there's more, but before you get angry over your indecision — remember what February felt like? How you wanted to leave the house so badly, but couldn't because it was too frigid, and besides, could you really go to the bar for the third time today? Seasonal sensory deprivation, I believe they call it.
This weekend is the opposite: It'll be in the '80s, so get out and go to the Â…
African Spring Festival (Saturday, 1:30-4:30 p.m., 1100 E. Chelten Ave., 215-685-2236): Hosted by the Greek-stereotypes-be-damned sorority Sigma Gamma Rho, this jubilee features performances by the Nzuri Dancers, storytelling by Baba Abiodun and sales on books, jewelry and other goods. African food (Ethiopian please?), too.
Delaware River Day (Sunday, noon-6 p.m., Columbus Blvd. & Chestnut St., 215-922-238): Fishtown's Shad Fest was amazing, but I have one gripe: Where was the free kayaking y'all were promoting? I couldn't find it for the life of me. Thankfully, free kayaking (and life-jacket fitting, water gear fashion shows, fishing and boat races) will be at this fest. For real this time (hopefully).
Annual Antiques Show (Saturday-Monday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m., 100 Creek Rd., Chadds Ford, 610-388-2700): 'Cause Father's Day is coming up, and doesn't your dad watch Antiques Roadshow? If so, experts will be on hand to find out if that landscape painting he's been hording is worth anything. Chances are Â… no.
Harp Festival of Philadelphia (Friday-Monday, various times, 30 S. 13th St., 215-732-1918): Sounds really lovely, right?
World Music Festival (Saturday-Monday, noon, Second St. & Germantown Ave., atthepiazza.com): Haven't been to that weird, maybe-awesome-but-maybe-not development yet? It's hosting yet another event this weekend, and this one features the ladies from the Philadelphia Independent Craft Market, masking-making workshops and world music. (Duh.)
