Friday: Rittenhouse Square Fine Arts Show
The Rittenhouse Square Fine Arts Association is holding their fall Fine Arts Show. This is a great art event where hundreds of artists set up booths along the perimeter of the park to expose the public to their work, all of which is for sale.
Regarded as one of the most respected and well attended outdoor art events in the entire nation, the show attracts national and local artists, with media ranging from oil painting to photography to handmade jewelry to glassware.
Saturday: Red Bull Flugtag
Aviation history rests on a few loose screws when Red Bull Flugtag makes its soaring return to Philadelphia. Dozens of pilots will leave their flight manuals at home and descend on the Camden Waterfront to launch their flights of fancy off a 30-foot ramp. Witness history crashing down.
Enough of the colorful talk. What’s really going down is a bunch of crazy fools literally launching themselves in some form of vehicle off of the ramp into the river. The event is known for the creative “planes” sort of similarly to that of a Derby Race. It’s crazy. It’s different. It’s fun.
