Welcome Spring Events

It's been a busy (and beautiful!) start to the spring - with a new brand and work for safer streets, stronger businesses, and new community infrastructure - and there's much more ahead. This Friday is the deadline for any businesses, artists, vendors and sponsors to join Fairmount Arts Crawl and Girard Avenue Street Festival.

Here's what else is coming up:

This Saturday, April 5 we are meeting at Athletic Rec Center, 26th and Master, for our Philly Spring Cleanup from 10am-Noon - RSVP at this link to join us!
This Sunday, April 6 enjoy the Philadelphia Museum of Art's Playful Patterns Family Festival from 10am-3pm, then Lemon Hill's annual Fairmount Easter Egg Scramble at 4 PM, and stop at IOS Restobar for the Greek Independence Day Parade Party afterward!
Eastern State is hosting an exclusive book launch and conversation on Thursday, April 10
Aiyah's next Art Market is Saturday April 12 from 11am-5pm

Join the Park to Broad Business Network

Thank you to all who invest in our community by contributing to Park to Broad and joining the Park to Broad Business Network as a supporter or partner. You can see which businesses are members on our directory, and web site.

While we apply for grants and contracts where available, the unrestricted revenue our team needs to produce events, programs for businesses, and this newsletter comes from neighbors and businesses making tax-deductible contributions! Nearly everything we create is free and accessible to all - we don't turn anyone away - so contributions from those who can invest go even further by helping those who are just starting out. We appreciate you.

Say Yes to a Neighbor-Owned Grocery Store

Are you interested in starting a food co-op in the Brewerytown or Fairmount neighborhoods? So are your neighbors — more than 500 of them to be exact! But, Brew/Fair Co-op needs more folks to express interest and support before moving forward in the process of opening a neighbor-owned grocery store. Can you help the co-op collect 700 names by May? If you're interested in learning more, fill out this interest form. And please share with your neighbors!
