Pierre’s Weekend Calendar June 20-22

Good Day, Good Citizens! Each Friday, after the Presidents arrive with their decaf coffee and Dave Edmunds serenades us with “Here Comes The Weekend”, the weekend can officially start. With the weekend ahead, you might need something to do. I, Pierre Robert, run down an extensive list of things happening in and around the Philadelphia area. I call it Pierre’s Weekend Calendar. Everything from concerts to go to (like Get The Led Out at the Keswick Theatre), movies to see (28 Years Later rated R), events (small and large) to partake in, and always what is going on here at WMMR.

Some things are fairly standard (like the Manayunk Arts Festival ), some are totally bizarre (like Many Faces of Batman), and to be honest, for some of this stuff, I don’t have a clue as to what they are (like Terra: Bodies & Territories). Plus a full listing of Pride Month events happening throughout our area in the month of June. Hopefully, this guide of some of what is going on in a fine village near you will help keep you busy this weekend. Who knows, maybe you’ll even catch me at one or two of these events this weekend (please stop and say hi if you do). Now, check out Pierre’s Weekend Calendar.
