OUTDOOR DAY GOTH PICNIC & GATHERING

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

While Warehouse on Watts undergoes its transformation (closed for renovations during July & August), VORTEX escapes the shadows of the warehouse for one strange Philadelphia summer afternoon...

On Saturday, July 18th, we gather beneath ancient trees and centuries-old stone walls at historic Grumblethorpe in Germantown.

A place where revolutions were fought, ghosts are rumored to linger, and the oldest ginkgo tree in North America quietly watches the passage of time.

For one day only, the bats leave the warehouse.

🦇 Industrial

🦇 Post-Punk
