Second Saturday in Frankford

The last Second Saturday Festival of the season happened on October 8th.  The location was that little green space on the corner of Paul and Frankford Avenue.  I got there about 1PM and there was a nice crowd of people walking in and out.  It was a beautiful day and with the greenery it was hard to remember that you were still on Frankford Avenue.

This event grew progressively over the Summer and attracted a following.  I met some of the same folks Saturday as I had seen previously.  The vendors must be doing OK if they came back again.  The CDC will be soliciting your comments on what you would like to see for next season.

Below are some pictures.  Click on the picture to enlarge it.  Now we can look forward to next year.

A Fall Day in Frankford

Saturday was one of those days we were waiting for after all the rain and then the chill of the past few weeks.  It was also a busy day in Frankford with more events than I could hope to cover.

So first I stopped by the flea market sponsored by the parents of Mastery Charter School Smedley Elementary at Wissinoming Park.  It was a beautiful morning and I found quite a few folks looking at the goods even that early.

Next stop was the Smedley building which is under construction of the new classrooms.  The 15th District PDAC and the 15th District police officers were putting on a time for the kids.  There was a great crowd of kids, parents, cops and PDAC folks there.  If you look closely you will see Captain Bachmayer himself.

Second Saturday Update from the Frankford CDC!

We at the Frankford CDC would normally post a wrap up of this past weekend’s Second Saturday arts festival, but unfortunately the weather interfered with our event this time around. Even though it ended up being a beautiful day, our artists and performers were understandably concerned about the threat of rain and how that may have damaged their work. We are going full steam ahead with our October 8th Second Saturday fest, and will be posting more details in the coming days. Rest assured we are going to end our season with a bang – you won’t want to miss out on it, we promise! As always, Michelle Feldman is available to answer all of your questions. Give her a call at 215-743-6580 or email her at mfeldman.fcdc@gmail.com. She’d love to hear from you!
