We are all getting used to fun stuff happening every weekend here in West Philly, but here’s something to enjoy in the middle of the week and for a very reasonable price. Penn Museum (3260 South Street) presents a series of concerts this summer (through August 24) every Wednesday night from 5 to 8 p.m.
All performances take place outdoors, in the museum’s Warden Garden, so you can enjoy some fresh air after long hours at work. Refreshments can be purchased at the venue. Tickets are $5, which includes admission to the museum.
This week “Summer Nights” features Baris Kaya and his band, Barakka, who mix Turkish folk, Middle Eastern and rock music.

The Museum started this last summer – it was a blast! And it happens rain or shine – they move the music inside if the weather doesn’t cooperate. Wolfgang Puck caterers (who run the Museum’s cafe) also have a bar and light food for purchase.
