Go West! Craft Fest Event Map (click to enlarge).
It’s shaping up to be quite an eventful weekend in West Philly. We already wrote about plant sales at PIC and Bartram’s Garden, a free walking tour of Lancaster Avenue, a book release party, and a weight pulling competition for dogs. And here’s one of the year’s most raving events in this part of the city: The spring edition of Go West! Craft Fest is also scheduled for this weekend.
The festival returns on Saturday, May 3 to the Woodlands (40th & Woodland) and this time brings an absolutely ridiculous number of vendors – we hear that over 120 local artists and artisans will be there to present their work to West Philly residents and visitors.
As always, Go West! will also feature local musicians, acrobatic performances by Tangle Movement Arts (tinycircus), great food and fun for adults and kids alike (see the event map).
This year, the craft fest is extensively covered by Grid Magazine, which included a 16-page guide in its May 2014 edition. You can pick up a free copy of the magazine at these locations.
The fest starts at 11:00 a.m. and will go on until 5 p.m. (rain date is Sunday, May 4). For more information, go to: http://gowestcraftfest.blogspot.com

Thanks for spreading the word! One important note: there is no parking in the grounds of the Woodlands during the event (except for vendors and participants). BUT there is a parking lot on the USP campus that visitors can use, see the inset map above for its 42nd Street location. Hoping to see you there tomorrow!
