Over the past year, a creative placemaking project, LoLa 38, helped bring art installations, community gatherings and other events to Lower Lancaster Avenue. On Oct. 14, a closing celebration for LoLa 38 will take place near the intersection of Powelton Ave. and N. 38th St. with over five hours of live music and dance performances by such well-known artists and groups as Chill Moody, Raheem DeVaughn, Philadanco, Kulu Mele African Dance & Drum Ensemble, and many more. The Soul Farm Community Festival will also feature local art and food. The event will kick off at 2 p.m. 

Everyone is welcome to attend the festival (free tickets are available here), but help is also needed to make this event a success. Festival organizers are currently seeking volunteers who can help run the following activities: the pop-up roller skating rink, pop-up mini golf, and video game trailer; as well as help with clean-up and break-down. Volunteer registration form is available here.
