Dance, Parade, and Sing


Weekend Preview:

Tonight, the ever popular Making Time dance party is celebrating it's 8th anniversary at Pure (http://www.purephilly.com/) from 9 p.m. - 3:30 a.m. Cut Copy, Black Kids, and Mobius Band will be performing live, and there's an open bar from 9-11 p.m. It's $12 at the door. Be prepared to dance well into the night.

This weekend is the Philadelphia Book Festival (libwww.freelibrary.org/bookfestival/), with a packed schedule of author appearances, including Barbara Walters and Bernadette Peters (if you can call them authors). It's kicking off on Saturday with the Story Book Parade at 11:30 a.m., where you'll have the opportunity to see all your favorite childhood characters.

The Walnut Street Theatre (www.walnutstreettheatre.org) is also previewing its production of Les Miserables starting this weekend through next week. The production will continue through August 3rd, so there will be plenty of opportunities to catch this classic musical about hard times and lovers torn apart in France.
