Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings to play a big, free street fair in Philly next Saturday.

Look, I realize I could be accused of being a little too Philly-centric for a Wilmington blog, but this is major.
PIFA, the Philadelphia International Festival of the Arts that's been going on all month, will be culminating with a huge street fair all day Saturday, April 30th.   There are so many details, you might as well just read the official page:  http://www.kimmelcenter.org/events/?id=4019

But the highlight is Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings, this insanely good modern funk band, playing on Pine Street at 6pm.  You can hear their recent album on their website: http://www.sharonjonesandthedapkings.com/

Other fair highlights include:  a giant ferris wheel, Paris-inspired cafe tables on Broad street, a French theatrical troupe giving a sunset performance from 100 feet in the air, a trampoline act, and a performance by Nicole Atkins. 

The event will run from 11am to 8:30 pm on Saturday, on and around Broad Street, around the Kimmel Center (where some events will be taking place).
