We get it; you work hard for your money and come Saturday, all you want to do is wind down and enjoy yourself. Occasionally it can be difficult to find a good reason to put real pants on, but East Passyunk Avenue is hosting an event this Saturday that’s totally worth it: a joint flea market/Second Saturday/sidewalk sale/music and arts festival that’s a must-see. We’ve rounded up the details and some of the highlights for this East Passyunk shopping extravaganza (three shopping events plus a music festival!) so you can plan your weekend right.

East Passyunk Avenue favorites like Frame Fatale, Mesh Vintage, The Bottle Shop, and Wake Up Yoga will be setting up shop on the sidewalk for easy access to discounted clothing and housewares.
