DIY, PHILLY!

FREE / CHEAP EVENTS in the PHILADELPHIA area

About Me

DIY, Philly! is a community calendar. It serves to inform Philadelphia of all the wonderful events, parties and shows that are hosted by the community - rather than businesses. It also serves a tool for DIY promoters - so that we can all avoid stepping on each other's feet when organizing an event.
