The third annual Shadfest hits Fishtown next week, and as Shad fever takes over, we begin to wonder: What if Fishtown had been called Shadtown?
What exactly is Shadfest? Well, this pretty much explains it. This year's Shadfest is on April 23, but there are a couple of events leading up to the fishiest event in Fishtown, so why not make a week of it?
It all starts with the Fishtown Fishing Derby on Saturday, April 16, followed by an Easter Egg Hunt, at Penn Treaty Park. April 16 - 23 is the Official Shadweek, with a fundraiser for Delaware Bay Oyster Happy Hour at Johnny Brenda's on April 19, and ShadQuizzo at the Starboard Side Tavern on April 21.
This year's fest lineup includes Black Landlord, Spinto Band, and Rock to the Future on the Kids Stage. Then get your fill of Shad or other festival offerings from the many food vendors.
Have you ever tried Shad?
