SUMMARY:Odunde - June 14\, 2026
DESCRIPTION:ODUNDE was created in 1975 by Lois Fernandez. The festival attracts UP TO 500\,000 people annually and is the largest African American street  festival held in the country. The ODUNDE festival\, whose concept originates from the Yoruba people of Nigeria\, West Africa\, celebrates the coming of another year for  African Americans and Africanized people around the world. It is an occasion highlighted by a colorful procession from  23rd and South Street to the Schuylkill River where an offering of  fruit and flowers is made to Oshun\, the Yoruba goddess of the river. ODUNDE is also known for its authentic African marketplace featuring vendors from around the world selling merchandise from African nations\, the Caribbean and Brazil. \nEach year\, on the second Sunday  in June\, ODUNDE takes place covering 16 city blocks and has 2 stages of live entertainment.  ODUNDE will be celebrating its 49TH year in the  traditional South Philadelphia location near 23rd and South street. The festival started in 1975 with a $100.00 grant and neighbors from Fernandez’s South Philadelphia community. Since then the ODUNDE Festival has become a national model for cultural street festivals in the country.  The eclectic mix of vendors\, entertainment\, music\, food\, jewelry and African art  attracts people from around the WORLD.  ODUNDE IS FOR EVERYONE\, WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU AND YOUR FAMILY THIS YEAR!!! \nShare this:\n				Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook\n			\n				Share on X (Opens in new window)\n				X\n			\n				Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n				Email\n			\n				Print (Opens in new window)\n				Print\n			\n				Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n				LinkedIn\n			Like this:Like Loading…

Free mural guided tour.\nLet’s take a look at the Sun Ra Mural on the museum wall. To study a mural effectively\, you must analyze its historical context\, visual composition\, and physical scale. Muralism differs from studio painting because the artwork interacts directly with public architecture and community identity. \nWeather permitting we will examine and study this mural with a museum guide.\nHere are some topics we will explore: \nIdentify the Basics: Note the title\, artist(s)\, and year of completion. \nAnalyze the Subject Matter: What is literally happening in the image? Identify the main figures\, objects\, and symbols. \nObserve the Composition: Look at how the wall is used as a canvas. Notice the use of lines\, color palettes\, scale\, and perspective.  \nDetermine the Context: Investigate the social\, political\, and historical background of the neighborhood or community where the mural is located. Murals often serve as visual storytelling to reflect a specific culture or shared history.  \nAssess the Environment: Consider how the mural interacts with its surroundings. Think about lighting\, nearby architecture\, and how it makes the street feel.  \n \n                                                                       Photo credit: Steve Weinik\n$7 Regal Movie Tickets for the Odyssey Movie.\nTuesday\, July 21\, 2026 at 6:45 PM (check the date – only for this day)\nRegal Theater 3720 Main St\, Manayunk\, PA 19127\n**Call 215-352-3114 to reserve your tickets.\nBuy and Pick up tickets at Black Philadelphia 250 Weekend July 1 to 3\, 2026 10 AM to 7 PM at the October Gallery Museum 6353 Greene Street Philadelphia\, PA 19144.\nTHESE TICKETS ARE NOT AVAVIALABLE AT THE REGAL THEATER !!!\nYou must get them from October Gallery – CALL NOW!!! 215-352-3114 – admission to October Gallery is free. \nAnne Hathaway as Penelope\, Zendaya as Athena\, Lupita Nyong’o as Clytemnestra\, and Charlize Theron as Calypso in The Odyssey \n \n  \nOur new fundraiser is One Dozen Krispy Kreme Donuts Reg. $16.50 NOW! $8.25.\n\n \nShare this:\n				Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook\n			\n				Share on X (Opens in new window)\n				X\n			\n				Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n				Email\n			\n				Print (Opens in new window)\n				Print\n			\n				Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n				LinkedIn\n			Like this:Like Loading…
