While we just celebrated our first event of our Jamz@Julian Summer 2016 music series, we’d like to share a link to our neighbors at Grays Ferry Triangle (we saw you at Julian Abele Park last night- thanks for coming over)…..

They have a nice lineup of music (and food!):

FYI Event Programming/Permitting in Philadelphia Parks

The Friends of Julian Abele Park, in addition to bearing primary responsibility for cleaning, maintaining and improving the park, also sponsors/presents events in the park. We do these to fundraise and support those activities as well as to further our community mission to bring neighbors together in an outdoor greenspace to meet and to interact with each other, neighborhood social groups, and businesses. We do not issue event permits and are required to adhere to the same permitting requirements as any other group wishing to have an event in a Philadelphia park. This has been an issue in the past with all city-owned and -operated parks and is why the city developed a standard for all events.

Because the weather is predicted to be chilly and damp, we will be having our meeting at the SOSNA Office again this month, at 7 PM. Hope the weather cooperates come June so that we can resume meeting at the park.

Ready for a picnic?  Well bring your dinner out to the park on Tuesday night and meet some of your neighbors.  Relax on the bench and watch the kids run around.  Look at the progress of the new house being built on Montrose.

At 7pm, we’ll have our Friends of Julian Abele Park meeting.  So please join us and find out what fun events and plans we have for the summer.  The meeting will be held at the SOSNA office at 1901 Christian Street in the event of rain.
