Philadelphia’s Manayunk neighborhood is turning up the summer energy with the debut of Stroll After Hours, a brand new weekly event series lighting up Thursday nights throughout July. From 6:00 pm to 10:00 pm every Thursday through July 31st, Main Street and its surrounding blocks will be transformed into a vibrant open-air festival packed with food, music, art, and community spirit.
