If you’re looking for something to do this weekend, Fishtown’s Under the El Bazaar returns Saturday with an afternoon of live art, music, food and shopping.<\/p>\n
The free event, “Chalk of the Town,” takes place from noon to 6 p.m. on the 1700 block of North Front Street beneath the Market-Frankford Line. Throughout the afternoon, local artists will create large chalk murals while attendees can browse local vendors, listen to live music and watch the artwork take shape.<\/p>\n
There also will be a designated chalk area where kids can create their own artwork.<\/p>\n
Several Fishtown restaurants and bars will join the event with outdoor food and drink offerings, including handmade crepes from International Bar, pizza from Percy Diner & Bar, a beer tent from Evil Genius Beer Company and walking tacos and margaritas at LMNO. Mecha Noodle Bar and Pure Green also will participate.<\/p>\n
Live music is scheduled throughout the afternoon with performances by Danielle & Zach from 12:30 to 2 p.m., April FoolChild from 2 to 3:30 p.m. and Moustapha Noumbissi from 3:30 to 5 p.m.<\/p>\n
Saturday’s event is the first of three Under the El Bazaars planned this summer. The series returns July 18 and Aug. 15 with new themes, vendors and entertainment.<\/p>\n
Admission is free. Food, drinks and purchases from vendors are available for an additional cost.<\/p>\n
