penn treaty park: No Rain Check for Shadfest 2011
- 04/23/11 12:39 PM
"''Gainst my window, I can't stand the rain" - Missy Elliott sang. The rain would not stop Fishtown Shadfest 2011. Early on, organizers, vendors, performers, Fishtown locals and attendees agreed: When you can't stand the rain, there's only one thing to do. Put on your rainboots and walk over to Penn Treaty Park for the annual fish-y festival. It turns out, being positive is sometimes justly rewarded. Because it wasn't all that bad...even balmy and beautiful at moments. As for the precipitation? Well, it was barely there at all! Except for one minor shower, all was calm with a nice … (0 comments)
penn treaty park: Welcome to Shadtown
- 04/15/11 02:48 AM
The third annual Shadfest hits Fishtown next week, and as Shad fever takes over, we begin to wonder: What if Fishtown had been called Shadtown? What exactly is Shadfest? Well, this pretty much explains it. This year's Shadfest is on April 23, but there are a couple of events leading up to the fishiest event in Fishtown, so why not make a week of it? It all starts with the Fishtown Fishing Derby on Saturday, April 16, followed by an Easter Egg Hunt, at Penn Treaty Park. April 16 - 23 is the Official Shadweek, with a fundraiser for Delaware Bay … (0 comments)

A pumpkin patch in Fishtown? Believe it.

- 06/29/10 03:48 AM
Penn Treaty Park's new website is just the start of the riverside park's latest plans. Your favorite Fishtown retreat will host a series of events this summer, so we noticed while checking out the updated site. On July 13, an outdoor movie that seems perfectly suited for the park, Where the Wild Things Are, will be shown. July 14 promises a Philly Folk Parade, July 21 is set for Charanga with Salsa lessons, and August 4 is time for the Philebrity Rock & Roll Barbecue. Have a look at their summer schedule and next time you find yourself in a lethargic … (1 comments)
The line for Johnny Brenda's ramped-up shad sandwich extended well along the Delaware River at Saturday's Fishtown Shadfest in Penn Treaty Park.
We think it's because they had such an impressive smoker, the best greens in Fishtown (Greensgrow), and a seasonally-sharp ramp remoulade. And the line for said sandwich? We were not kidding about it. Our camera couldn't quite fathom the entire length of it.
If you weren't here for a fishy lunch, you were here for the music. WXPN was there to oversee the sounds, which traveled all across the park and could be heard from … (6 comments)

Bonus festival points if you attend all of these, but hey, no pressure. We'll see you out there. On Saturday May 1, Walnut Street is blocked off between Broad and 19th Streets for the annual Rittenhouse Row Spring Festival, a rain or shine pedestrian-fest.

penn treaty park: 200 Years of Friendly Vibes at Fishtown's Penn Treaty Park
- 03/05/10 01:03 AM
Fishtown's fallen "Treaty Tree" played an important role in history. It was these very branches that William Penn and Lenape Chief Tamanend pledged their friendship at Penn Treaty Park.

penn treaty park: Something Fishy in Fishtown !
- 04/26/09 10:22 AM
Something Fishy in Fishtown ! While sitting in a waiting room years ago I found myself riveted by an article in The New Yorker, that was discussing how back in the old days, the Delaware River shad fish were so abundant that the local Tap-Rooms and Pubs off of the fishing ports of Philadelphia, used to keep giant vats of shad roe at the bar (like peanuts) for a complementary salty nibble that would perpetuate the bar patron's thirst. The contrast of the current state of the over farmed and over polluted Delaware River was a sad realization to me … (5 comments)
