GPS Fest<\/strong> stands for Grassstains Psychedelic Stoop Fest<\/em> — a one-day music and arts festival in Philadelphia.<\/p>\n

Founded in 2021 by Juls<\/strong>, the festival began as The Philly Stoop<\/strong> with handmade flyers, local bands, and a single block closed to traffic. After meeting through Philadelphia’s creative community nearly five years ago, Juls joined forces with Kyle<\/strong> from Philadelphia Psychedelic<\/em>, and Nina<\/strong> from Grassstains Festival<\/em> to create what is now GPS Fest. What was once a single block packed with artists and musicians has evolved into a park-wide experience at Lemon Hill that continues to expand through collaboration and community.<\/p>\n

Our Mission<\/h2>\n

GPS Fest exists to create an inclusive, affordable, community-centered event where local artists and musicians can share their work while attendees experience a full day of creativity, connection, and discovery.<\/p>\n

The Organizers<\/h2>\n

Together, the three organizers specialize in independent music production, sober event planning, coordinating local art markets, and cultivating immersive creative experiences.<\/p>\n

By the Numbers<\/h2>\n
