Spring is officially here, and in Fishtown, that means one thing: block party season is back! This Saturday, March 21, the neighborhood comes alive as Evil Genius Beer Company hosts its highly anticipated “Sprung!” celebration. It’s a lively, all-ages block party under the El that marks the unofficial start of warmer days ahead.
Running from noon to 6 p.m., the event transforms North Front Street into a buzzing street festival packed with music, food, shopping, and plenty of local flavor. After months of cold, gray weather, this outdoor gathering is designed to bring the community back together with sunshine, fresh air, and good vibes.
Here’s what to expect
- 🎧 Live DJ sets from Dj Drini to keep the energy high all day
- 🧀 Food truck favorites, including must-try bites from MooCheeze
- 🍻 Fresh pours from Evil Genius’ outdoor beer garden
- 🛍️ Local shopping featuring handmade goods, vintage finds, and Philly-themed apparel
- ✨ Interactive fun like glitter makeovers and unique artisan pop-ups
- 🧸 Family-friendly touches with goodies for kids and even stylish finds for your dog
From curated sunglasses and handcrafted jewelry to vintage treasures and home decor, the vendor lineup highlights creativity that defines Fishtown’s small business scene. It’s just as much as neighborhood showcase as it is a party.
