This week’s episode features the all day Philly Cheesesteak and Food Festival this Saturday, fall events at Laurel Hill Cemetery, and Old City Fest –  happening this Sunday, October 9th.

Yo! Philly’s Cheesesteak and Food Fest 2016 is happening Saturday, October 15th at Citizens Bank Park. Dave Feldman, Event Coordinator of the Cheesesteak Festival, Tony Luke Jr., Steve (Prince of Steaks) and the guys from Phillips Cheesesteaks join Marilyn in studio to give her the scoop on this all-day food festival featuring Philly’s biggest Cheesesteak vendors, Roast Pork, Hoagies, Soft Pretzels, Water Ice and more! Plus, live music, a beer garden, rides and games. Tickets available HERE and each ticket purchased comes with two Phillies tickets to the 2017 season!

Then, Kristen meets with Nick McCallister, Director of Development and Membership at Historic Laurel Hill Cemetery about a number of fall events the cemetery will be hosting during the next month. Join them for their 8th Annual Rest In Peace 5k this Saturday, October 8th at 5pm. A twilight run through the grounds of the cemetery with costumes encouraged! Then, if you like all things spooky, be sure to check out their Soul Crawl and True Tales from the Tomb Halloween Tours during October. Just remember to BYOFL (bring your own flash light)! Last, but certainly not least – Laurel Hill Cemetery holds their annual fundraising gala The Gravedigger’s Ball every October. Join them for, quite possibly, the best party in Philadelphia on Friday, October 21st. Find info on all of these events and more HERE.

Then Marilyn speaks with Job Itzkowitz – Executive Director, Old City District in support of the Old City District Festival this Sunday in – you guessed it – Old City, Philadelphia.

And best of all, it’s FREE! Sunday, October 9th from 11am-6pm. More details HERE.
