Looking for some fun arts and culture events this weekend in Philly? We’ve got you covered.

Philadelphia Museum of Art Craft Show

The Philadelphia Museum of Art Contemporary Craft Show is set to return this weekend, and once again, visitors can find a broad showcase of work from creatives peppered around the PA Convention Center over the course of three days. Set for Friday, Nov. 7, to Sunday, Nov. 9, this year’s event will feature 195 artists from across the country, spanning 13 different categories of craft.

Visitors will be able to peruse through different mediums, including metal, basketry, paper and everything in between, with several artists showcasing in multiple categories. All artists’ work is available for purchase, and each artist will keep all of the proceeds from their sales. Each day will also hold different activities (some of which are immersive), with a full list of offerings available online.

The show kicks off with a Preview Night on Thursday, Nov. 6, from 4 to 9 p.m. Preview tickets grant access to this special cocktail event, plus entry to the entire show for all four days. It also gives you the chance to mix and mingle with all of the different artists involved in this creative extravaganza on a more intimate level. The PMA Craft Show will run Nov. 7, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., Nov. 8, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Nov. 9 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tickets (various prices) are available online.

Not So Silent Cinema at Glen Foerd

The Secret Cinema is returning to the picturesque Glen Foerd estate this weekend to showcase ‘Häxan’, a Swedish-Danish silent horror essay film, written and directed by Benjamin Christensen.

General admission is $25, and $20 for students and seniors (note, the screening will take place on the second floor with stair access only). The screening will kick off at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 6.

‘Walden’

‘Walden’ comes from InterAct Theatre Company, an organization known for holding a tradition of “bold, timely storytelling.” Their latest show is directed by InterAct’s Producing Artistic Director Seth Rozin, with assistant Director Lisi Levy. ‘Walden’ (by Amy Berryman) follows Cassie, a NASA botanist, who returns from a year-long Moon mission and finds herself in a remote cabin in the woods. There, her estranged twin sister, Stella, a former NASA architect, has found a new life with her Earth Advocate fiancé, Bryan.

The sisters must work to repair some previous relationship damage, all while dealing with other intergalactic obstacles. ‘Walden’ runs through Nov. 23, with opening night set for this Thursday, Nov. 6.

‘Year of the Spy’ at Carpenter’s Hall

Next year is now dubbed the “Year of the Spy” at Carpenter’s Hall in commemoration of the 250th anniversary of Benjamin Franklin’s secret meetings with French spy, Julien-Alexandre Achard de Bonvouloir. To learn more, locals can delve into some inside history on spies by visiting the venue throughout 2026.

There, Charles and Nancy Cook’s book “The Spies at Carpenters’ Hall: A Blueprint for a Revolution” is available for purchase, and locals can also learn about a trip members of the Carpenters’ Company recently took to Normandy to meet with Bonvouloir’s descendants and see his estate’s exhibit about the French Alliance.
