PIFA PARADE DOWN BROAD STREET & Philadelphia International Festival of the Arts March 28, 2013 – April 27, 2013
To celebrate the Philadelphia International Festival of the Arts and its 2013 theme of Time Travel, a Time Travel Pop Up Parade took over Philadelphia on Friday, March 22nd.
If you were on Broad Street or near City Hall about 1PM on Friday you might have captured a few folks you’ve read about or seen on the big screen.
Thanks to Kristina Jenkin’s for these shots, my time machine was off and I missed the parade.
The parade ended up at the Kimmel Center where much of the action will be taking place for the upcoming Philadelphia International Festival of the Arts March 28, 2013 – April 27, 2013
(Thanks to the Kimmel Center for providing the first shot and this shot)
Then last night I stopped by the Kimmel Center and checked out the progress of the time machine. It looks great, I still can’t figure out how it’s going to work so my curiosity is piqued. I do think this is the exit though.
The entrance seems to be in the center of the Kimmel Lobby where two years ago the Eiffel Tower stood. All the mysteries will be solved when the 2013 Philadelphia International Festival of the Arts. Starts on March 28, 2013 – April 27, 2013
omg, HughE thank you SO much for the great visibility!

I probably took my lunch two seconds after this ended LOL How did I miss this on Friday!
I'm so looking forward to this event I enjoyed myself just about daily two years ago and I expect the same this year!
