The second Philadelphia International Festival of the Arts, or PIFA 2013, opened on March 28th. As WRTI’s Susan Lewis reports, the Kimmel Center Plaza is once again be its hub - this time, with a giant Time Machine, and a number of free events. Kimmel Center President Anne Ewers says the festival highlights the Center's role as a public gathering space.
The city festival features music, theater, dance, and other activities staged by over 50 PIFA partners.
A number of free events will take place on the Kimmel’s Commonwealth Plaza, including Friday at noon concerts, late-night jazz, and a musical production Tuesday through Sunday nights. The 31-day festival ends with a public day-long fair on Broad Street on April 27th.
