Directions:
Leaving Center City, go down West River Drive past BOTH lights, and just after you go under the Strawberry Mansion Bridge (metal structure with a glowing neon light underneath it), we're on the left in the large grassy field. We'll be the ones with a small white tent and DJ's playing music. We should also have this banner:
This is about a half-mile back from Fells Bridge. If you drive, there is parking in two lots (on the left and right sides) just ahead, one in front of the West River Drive pavilion, and the other just across the street.
It's around 4 miles from center city, so why not bike/rollerblade out? Wanna see a map?

On Monday, May 27th - Memorial Day, 2013, we'll be having our first Hang Free of the 2013 season. We expect to be up and running by 1pm on Monday, and going until dark (probably around 8pm). Directions to our location in Fairmount Park are at the right.
Hang Free is a free, bi-annual outdoor party that occurs in Fairmount Park in Philadelphia. We provide DJ's spinning music in an outdoor, casual atmosphere, where there is no cost to hang and listen.
This year, we're very happy to have some old friends at Hang Free along with resident DJ Under. Our good friend DJ Bill Gat will be be back behind the decks (and out from behind the bar) for the first time since 2005! Joining again since his last set in 2008, DJ Josh Stahl will give us another dose of his dubby samplings. Mr. Tripper gladly helps us out in a pinch with another classic set - he's become quite the regular at our events lately! Leaving his beloved Cafe Chimosa for a few hours, DJ Jugo will be offering up an old-school vinyl set. Wrapping up our Memorial Day lineup, we'll be graced with a set from DJ June Lopez.

Each Hang Free guarantees some sport & fun (such as touch football or frisbee or volleyball) with friends and soon-to-be friends. Over the years, we've become more pet-friendly and child friendly, offering play for all ages and a friendly welcoming crowd. Plus, you get an eclectic soundtrack to picnic your day away with Philadelphia's hippest DJ's and sound makers.
It's hard to say several weeks away, but the weather predicted for next Monday predicts 71 degree weather, and a 8:20pm sunset. If it rains on Monday, we will probably cancel Hang Free due to the weather. Please bookmark and check our web site for last-minute updates as Monday approaches, and definitely post our last update at noon on Monday with the weather prediction.
Bring Good Friends, Blankets, a Picnic, Good Attitudes, Frisbees & Hackysacks - Don't worry about the Cost - Just Hang Free!
