Trenton Avenue Arts Festival

My neighborhood hosted it’s 3rd annual arts festival this weekend. I’ve been saying this is my favorite day of the year in Fishtown, a day when I’m extra proud to live here and be part of such a vibrant and wild-spirited community. What promised to be a rainy affair turned out to break free of the showers and even give me a sunburn. It was lovely, as always.

A big part of the festival, for those of you who don’t know yet, is the ‘Kensington Kinetic Sculpture Derby’. I took lots of photos of the derby and here’s a video of some of the best sculptures in action:

    dude how did i miss you there?

    i know a bunch of the Zombish. so awesome. my runner-up was the "Casinos are taking philadelphia for a ride" clan.
  • Wow, that is surprising! I was there all day. Yeah, Zombish was incredible. Gorgeous!
  • This marks two years running that I've had an event that conflicted with Trenton Ave Arts Fest. I'm hopeful that I'll be able to take my new baby to see the Kinetic Sculpture Derby next year. That should be a lot of fun!
