Make It Work Presents: Mantua Fest
April 30th -May 3rd
Mantua Fest is a music festival spanning over 4 days to benefit the young musicians currently keeping Philadelphia's underground music scene thriving and also benefitting Mantua as a community. A portion of the proceeds from this festival will go to the Dornsife Center for Neighborhood Partnerships, a community center dedicated to connecting the students and faculty of Drexel University with the residents of Mantua and Powelton Village.

You can also read about the necessity for a place like this in the struggling neighborhood of Mantua on NPR.

Another smaller portion of the proceeds will go to benefit this project, Make It Work PHL. The money will go directly into buying a shared PA system for the DIY community to use as well as ensuring touring bands coming through the area get paid their gas and toll money to get them to the next show.
The shows will be priced separately at $5 each but 4 day passes can be bought for $10. There will be 50 passes available.
