“InLight 2025: Super!Giant!Jump!Star!” the grand premiere of artist George Ferrandi’s multidisciplinary project “Jump!Star!” will be held Friday and Saturday at Abner Clay Park. The free public event runs from 7 to 11 p.m. both nights at 200 W. Clay St.

The festival features live performances under a large tent, with visitors encouraged to bring lawn chairs or blankets. Folding chairs will be available by request. A full schedule of performances is online at 1708inlight.org. 

Food and beverages including wine, cider and beer will be offered by local food trucks, including Mobile Yum Yum, Sweet Tooth, Daily Coffee and Philly Vegan. Restrooms will be in the parking lot of Richmond Alternative School. 

Attendees can find free street parking on Marshall Street and throughout Jackson Ward and the Downtown Arts District. Paid parking is available through Parking.com. The gallery will run a shuttle from 6:30 to 10:30 p.m. both nights, picking up guests at Carver Elementary School, 1110 W. Leigh St., and the 5th and Marshall Parking Deck, 500 E. Marshall St. 

Public transit is also an option; the GRTC Pulse stops at 14 locations along its route, with eight stops downtown. The nearest stop to Abner Clay Park is the Arts District stop, about a six-minute walk from the park. 

Organizers note that Abner Clay’s grassy terrain varies in elevation and will be dark, but the festival will have ample lighting and signage, with Ferrandi’s sculptures providing additional illumination.
