If you are anywhere in the Northeast, you know that Spring hasn't really arrived here. Cold weather does not want to leave us and snow made one (hopefully) last appearance today. So what are most of us doing? Waiting anxiously for warmer weather and fun, outdoor activities. We seem to have a forecast for that soon in Philadelphia.
On Saturday, April 30th, a sliver of Center City will look a little Parisian compliments of the PIFA Street Fair. This free event from 11am - 8:30pm will turn Broad Street between Chestnut and Lombard into a Francophile's dream. The fair will feature French street performers and food vendors, a public garden with a children's area, two stages for musical performances, and a giant Ferris wheel. The fair will culminate with a "breathtaking routine" by La Comagnie Transe Express suspended 100 feet in the air. Just a brief glimpse of the company's web site (check it out!) looks like they can thrill the mere mortals left on the ground to watch.
This street fair is just one of many events planned between April 7 - May 1 as part of the festival. The PIFA web site shows there are many entertainment options - from music, theater, speakers, dance, film, tours, etc. I'm all for those things. More than ever, however, I am ready for the outdoor events. I plan on being at Philly's Interesting, Fun Activity on April 30th. I hope warm weather is planning on being there, too.
