Many a sunny afternoon or warm evening you can find them playing at Plum Street Mall – drawing an audience into impromptu harmony and dance. If you ever visited the Azzole campground at the Philly Folk Fest then you know what were talking about : “Friend of the Devil” to “St Anne’s Reel”.

2nd Saturday Arts Stroll in Media, PA

On the 2nd Saturday of every month, over 30 businesses on and around State Street in Media stay open late as part of a free arts event. From 6:00 to 9:00 pm, shops, galleries and cafes host local musicians or display the work of local artists. Visitors can stroll the friendly streets of Media and use M.A.C. 2nd Saturday map to find music, art and participating shops.

2nd Saturday creates opportunities for local artists and musicians to share their talents. The Media Arts Council regularly holds gallery openings and special events as a part of 2nd Saturday.

2nd Saturday is a fantastic event for a date, for the family, or to go out with friends! The Arts Stroll is free of charge but requires the continued support of our sponsors, participating businesses, and gracious donors to make it happen. Please contribute today to the Media Arts Council.
