PHILADELPHIA - The winter chill is officially losing its grip on Philadelphia, and Fishtown is ready to celebrate. This Saturday, March 21, Evil Genius Beer Company kicks off the neighborhood's beloved outdoor season with the return of the "Sprung!" Block Party.From Noon to 6:00 PM, the 1700 block of North Front Street—right under the iconic El—will transform into an all-ages, dog-friendly street festival designed to shake off the last of the "winter blues."
Beer, Beats, and Street Eats
No Evil Genius event is complete without a dedicated outdoor beer tent featuring their signature creative brews. To pair with the fresh pours, the MooCheeze Food Truck will be on-site serving up photogenic comfort food, while DJ Drini provides the soundtrack for the afternoon.
"We believe that beer is best enjoyed with good company, warm rays of sunshine, fresh air, and a whole lot of fun," says Evil Genius co-founder Trevor Hayward. "We’re throwing this block party to reconnect with our neighbors and create a space where everyone can enjoy the return of the warmer weather."
Local Makers and Curated Shopping
The block party serves as a massive showcase for Philly’s vibrant maker scene. Attendees can browse a wide array of local vendors, including:
- Apparel & Style: Philly sports-themed gear from Cracked Bell, curated shades from Eyerock Sunglasses, and vintage finds from Out of Time Vintage.
- Hand-Crafted Accessories: Jewelry and accessories from Lily Lough Jewelry and Alien Bratz.
- Home & Sparkle: Home decor from Bold and Broad, plus a chance to get "blinged out" at the Lunar Sparkles Glitter Bar.
Family and Fido Friendly
The event is designed for the whole crew, including kids and four-legged friends. Vamvaki Gifts will be offering plushies for the little ones, while Brixxy & Co. will have custom dog bandanas available for the neighborhood pups.
