Friends of Philadelphia Parks Bus Tour 2016

Every year the Stewardship Unit hosts a bus tour of our parks, hosted by Friends’ groups. South Philadelphia was featured this year….

Jamz@Julian 2016 went out with a great concert on Wednesday the 24th, with a large audience gathered to hear Gretchen Elise and Maurice Authentic Hayman- as well as to hear some of our very youngest neighbors honing their musical abilities with Gretchen’s “Great Basket o’ Instruments”….

We had a blast all summer long (and even had a couple DNC delegates from California drop by in July)….

Very special thanks to Brandon Krakowsky for organizing Jamz this year. This would not have been possible without him.

This coming Wednesday August 24th, 6-8 PM is our *last* concert of the Summer. We’re ending on a high note with a performer who is no stranger to our park’s musical series, Gretchen Elise. Bring a picnic and enjoy another evening of fine music.

This coming Tuesday August 2nd at 7 PM the Friends of Julian Abele Park will be meeting at 7 PM at the park.

This is also SOSNA’s National Night Out neighborhood party/meet’n’greet. The Friends of Julian Abele Park are sponsoring the band, Kamara, who will be performing between 6 and 7 PM. They opened for Plazapalooza this year and it’s great to be able to support local talent.

Add to your calendars! Our FIRST Movie Night at Julian Abele Park: Monday August 15th! Our feature will be 2016’s “Pan” starring Hugh Jackman….make sure to check our website at julianabelepark.org and our Facebook page
