A 90s Block Party, Medieval Faire + Free Concert by a Sesame Street Songwriter

Quick personal note: a few months back we pitched 100+ Philly founders on hosting a family-friendly Tech Week event, because there were none. So we made one. Tuesday May 5, 6 to 8 PM at the Design Gym studio. Kids will design their own mini Tiny Jawns, an interface for finding the events and places they love. Stop by, say hi, or have them join the project. Details at the bottom. This weekend: Saturday stacks three festivals. Rittenhouse Row goes 90s, South Street's Spring Fest fills six blocks (one medieval), and Fishtown's 4th annual Music & Arts Fest sets up under the El. Sunday: a free Tim Kubart concert at Penn (you've heard him on Sesame Street without knowing the name).

Big energy

Rittenhouse Row Spring Festival

Saturday · 12 PM – 5 PM

Walnut Street, 18th to 19th · Rittenhouse Square · · All ages

🟡Pack snacks · Take SEPTA or park early, parking around Rittenhouse Square is rough on fest days

Rittenhouse Row's annual spring fest is leaning into 90s nostalgia this year. Walnut Street between 18th and 19th turns into a 50,000-person block party with 50+ vendors, food, fashion booths, live music, and culinary demos. Strollers are fine. The crowd thins as you push toward the Square.
