Philadelphia, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/12/2015 -- Molestice, the annual block party and free music festival to kick off the summer solstice returns Saturday June 20th to the 100 block of North Mole Street in Center City, Philadelphia. Nestled amongst landmarks such as the Comcast building, Love Park and Magee Rehabilitation Center, the annual block party and music festival promises a day of music, community, food and fun.
Experience planning and Philadelphia branding agency, Mole Street, has been hard at work producing the event according to the local city tradition.
"Molestice is actually a 30-year old tradition, started by the neighborhood of North Mole Street in 1979. The event has historically involved a day of live theatre performances and community building. This year, Mole Street—the agency responsible for much of the entertainment booking in Philadelphia—has taken over the production, and we're excited to announce a lineup of local standout musicians," said Sean Timmons, Talent Buyer for Mole Street.
This year's Molestice, held on June 20th, will feature some of the region's finest emerging artists including Kuf Knotz Band, Brian LaPann, New Sweden, Ill Fated Natives, Effie Liu, Woodro Skillson, Gooch and The Motion and The White Cheddar Boys. Mole Street has booked artists from a variety of genres from old-time folk to progressive hip-hop to provide block party guests with a musical journey from beginning to end.
At the festival, Mole Street will be providing food trucks such as Poi Dog Snack Shop, Phoebes BBQ and KAMI.
