Philly Fringe Kicks Off on Friday
The Philadelphia Live Arts Festival continues through Sept. 17.
Warminster offers plenty of summer fun, but sometimes the lure of Philadelphia beckons—and our Summer in the City feature can help guide you to the fun.
If you feel like venturing out a little farther from home, check here for a weekly suggestion of something fun or interesting to do in the City of Brotherly Love. Whether it's a restaurant to try, a festival to attend or special museum exhibits, we'll feature something different every Thursday.
This week check out the Philadelphia Live Arts Festival and Philly Fringe, an event that showcases music, theater, art and everything creative. From Sept. 2 through Sept. 17, venues throughout the city, including The Fire, InMovement Studio, Circle of Hope, Crane Arts, Walnut Street Theatre Studio 5 and Studio X (to name only a few), will open their doors for "boundary-breaking arts experiences."
