Supper Sessions on the Avenue, Mt. Airy’s signature late-summer food-and-drink festival, makes its return to Germantown Avenue at the end of August.

Now in its third year, Supper Sessions will transform the 7100 block into an alfresco extravaganza from 5 to 10 p.m. every other Wednesday, starting Aug. 29 and returning Sept. 12, Sept. 26 and Oct. 10. Rain dates are slotted for the Wednesdays in between and Oct. 17.

The 10 great eateries on the block — Chef Ken's Cafe, Cresheim Valley Grain Exchange, Earth Bread + Brewery, Golden Crust Pizza, The Juice Room, Jyoti Indian Bistro, McMenamin's Tavern, Mi Puebla, Trattoria Moma and the new Nonna’s Pizza Tavern — will be joined by different food trucks every week, in rotation to add a little extra flavor!

Quintessence Theatre Group’s ninth season in residence at the historic Sedgwick Theater opens this fall with Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, including a pay-what-you-wish preview Sept. 26 and a performance Oct. 10. Plan now for a dinner-and-a-show evening at Supper Sessions. 

Children’s activities including story time and giant Jenga, a soundtrack by local DJs, booths and tables featuring local artists and other members of the Go Mt. Airy Business Association will fill out the block for a series of very Mt. Airy evenings.
