Summer is here, and what better place to spend a warm June night than strolling and perusing on Frankford Avenue?  You’ll find awesome cloths, jewelry, food, and drink, as well as the coolest, most creative people in Philadelphia!

All summer long (except July) during First Fridays NKCDC’s Garden Center will host craft vendors from the neighborhood who will offer their wares for sale to the perusing public.  Sign ups for the rest of the summer are still available by contacting Laura (lsemmelroth(at)nkcdc.org).  Soon the NKCDC Garden Center will also host a compost co-op, and a distribution point for the Farms to Families CSA program!
