Northern Liberties' 2nd Street Festival returns this weekend with seven city blocks of live music, food, general merriment, and of course, shopping. Now in its fourth year, the block party-style event promises to be bigger and better than ever, so you better go in with a gameplan if you want to get the most out of your day.
Arcadia Boutique will lure shoppers through the door with complimentary cocktails and a new shipment of vintage clothing. Also on the docket? A trunk show featuring Sultana Aschim Jewelry. The local jewelry designer crafts eye-popping necklaces using materials like upcycled bullet casings, semi-precious stones, crystals, feathers, and unique findings.
For more handmade jewelry, seek out the booth belonging to Moon & Arrow and Canoe Crafts. You'll find metal necklaces and earrings that feature geometric shapes, plus bohemian-inspired jewelry, and more.
Stop by 611 Lifestyle's booth to check out the latest apparel and gear from local DJ Nigel Richards. The Philly-inspired line offers tees, tanks, accessories, bags, and more for both men and women.
For more tees and tanks, track down Duke & Winston's booth. Pick up a top from D&W's popular Beach Town collection, and don't pass over the brand-new addition to the D&W line: Silk neck ties featuring D&W's signature bulldog logo.
