This year's Philadelphia Live Arts Festival & Philly Fringe, running from August 29 through September 13, introduces the new Festival Bar, a stylized urban beer garden - designed and created specifically for the Festival - that will play host to thousands of festival-goers, artists and performers who will gather nightly for an after-hours chance to meet and mingle. Festival Bar visitors will be able to grab a beer or cocktail served up by Philly's favorite barman Fergus Carey, purchase food including Turkish dishes from Konak Restaurant and Bar, enjoy visual media installations designed and programmed by artist Lars Jan, dance to a line-up of some of the city's best DJs and even play arcade games like pinball and Wii Boxing.
