Events and Activities Guide

Fairmount Park rules apply at all times.

Saturday August 25th at 5 & 7 pm

Inspired by the history, architecture and beauty of the Schuylkill River Banks, The Hidden River Project explores four sites – the rock garden, the overhead ramps and stairwells, an industrial cobblestone site and an underpass. The performance commences at the top of 24th & Walnut St. steps (across from SWEAT Gym) where audiences will meet a tour guide/narrator who will lead viewers on a journey to the key sites. The sites vary from intimate enclosures (for solo presentations) to large scale settings (for ensembles). The 40 minute program consists of six vignettes for live music, dance/movement, visual art, and spoken word that weave and wind through a two block area.
