The weather looks like it's going to cooperate with us this year, with a warm spring day and temperatures creeping up to the 70's during the afternoon.

We've double-confirmed all of our DJ's and timeslots, and hope to present an eclectic soundtrack to while away your first day of summer! Don't forget that we'll be asking for donations to help cover the costs of this free event, we appreciate your support!

We should be up and running by one, and we'll be playing music until sunset tonight! Bring Good Friends, Blankets, a Picnic, Good Attitudes, Frisbees & Hackysacks - Don't worry about the Cost - Just Hang Free!

On Monday, May 31st - Memorial Day, 2021 (and the last day of May), we'll be having our first Hang Free in nearly 2 years! We expect to be up and running by one on Monday, and going until sunset (probably around 9pm). Note, we will be at our new location in Fairmount Park, behind the Please Touch Museum and Memorial Hall in West Philadelphia. We'll be at a lovely spot located on Cedar Grove Drive (Link to Google Map). There's a small lot for parking, and easy bike and walking access - a short trip from Center City!

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. It should be a lovely day to enjoy Philadelphia's gorgeous public parks with friends and loved ones. We'll be asking for donations to help cover the costs of this free event, we appreciate your support! We stopped last year due to the pandemic, but now we're back that the state has loosened it's restrictions. We do ask to wear masks if you're not vaccinated fully, but can treat this as an outdoor event with plenty of distance and airflow!

This Memorial Day Monday our DJ guests include the usual equipment-dragging resident superstar DJ Linda Leigh along with regular guest DJ's Jay Kountree and Musho. Keeping it fresh in 2021, we can expect to hear new mixes from DJ Zenzo, and Derrick Nathaniel, and rounding out the day will be Philadelphia DJ legend Guy Smiley (whose made many appearances at Hang Free since the very beginning!)

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 a two weeks away, but we hope the weather predicted for our Monday event to be warm and inviting, and we can expect a long day with a 9:37pm sunset. Please check this website on Monday for our noon announcement of event weather plans! We will not send any email updates beyond our event announcement a few days prior to our event.
