Philly Naked Bike Ride and 14 other ways to spend your weekend, Sept. 9-11

Need something to do this weekend? Don't worry, we got you covered.

» READ MORE: Hello Kitty Cafe Truck

10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday at King of Prussia Mall, 160 N. Gulph Rd., King of Prussia.

Hard to believe Hello Kitty is celebrating 40 years in the U.S. (the pop-culture icon was created in 1974 in Japan, but took a couple of years to get here). The epitome of the kawaii (cute) aesthetic started out as a face on a vinyl coin purse (girls now of a certain age probably still have theirs) and is the center of a $5 billion empire. The latest is this food truck, offering appropriately adorable treats such as cookies and cakes, water bottles, coffee mugs, a pink T-shirt, and a bow headband just like Kitty's. - Michael Harrington

8 p.m. Saturday at Laurel Hill Cemetery, 3822 Ridge Ave. $50.

Inspired by a 2015 Brooklyn happening sponsored by oddball travel guide Atlas Obscura and taking place in Laurel Hill Cemetery, this is "an evening of hidden art, music, cocktails, and entertainment . . . under the cover of night as you choose your own path of discovery through the cemetery's enchanting hallowed grounds." OK, we're sold. - M.H.

» READ MORE: Coast Day

11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday at Penn's Landing, Columbus Avenue at Walnut Street. Free.

As stormy Hermine recently reminded us, we're kind of a coastal place. Despite the occasional hurricane, that's pretty cool, as this event demonstrates, with rowboating and swan pedal boating, model boat racing, fishing pole casting, and a shuttle to the Fairmount Water Works to see freshwater mussel demonstrations. - M.H.

» READ MORE: Philadelphia Naked Bike Ride

5 p.m. Saturday, location TBD. Free.

It's that time again. Either strip down to your skivvies and hop on your bike, or keep your kids far away from the city: The annual clothing-optional ride sets off from a yet-to-be-determined location. For more info, sign up at philadelphianakedbikeride.wordpress.com. - Molly Eichel

» READ MORE: South Philly Sausage Festival

Noon-8 p.m. Saturday, West Passyunk Ave. from Broad to 15th St. Pay as you go.

What better way to support the Newbold Community Development Corp. than by eating delicious meat and sipping on beers? Ten restaurants and local craft breweries will serve up sausagey goodness to support the South Philly 'hood. - M.E.

» READ MORE: Honey Festival

Friday, Glen Foerd on the Delaware, Grant Avenue & Milnor Street; Saturday, Wyck Historic House, 6026 Germantown Ave.; Sunday, Bartram's Garden, 5400 Lindbergh Blvd., honeyfest@phillybeekeepers.org.

This event is clearly the bee's knees. Learn about our buzzing honey-making beasties at this event that spans three locations over three days. - M.E.

» READ MORE: Adele

8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Wells Fargo Center, 3601 S. Broad St. Sold out. 800-298-4200, livenation.com.

The powerhouse pop star hits the Wells Fargo Center to promote her insanely successful 25. This is Adele's first jaunt since 2011. Be apprised: Adele is a talker. "I better warn you. I do talk a lot," she said at a recent concert in Los Angeles. "I have 10 songs, and the rest is chat." Good thing Ms. Adkins is quite funny when she's not belting. - M.E.

» READ MORE: Bruce Springsteen

Read Dan DeLuca's review of Wednesday's record breaking show.

8 p.m. Friday, Citizens Bank Park, 1 Citizens Bank Way, $100-$150, 215-463-1000.

This may be Springsteen's third time in Philadelphia on his current tour (his second was Wednesday), ostensibly to promote a reissue of The River. That doesn't mean Bruce is turning on the autopilot. He has been playing his longest U.S. shows to date - a recent concert at MetLife Stadium clocked in at four hours - with set lists that span his career. Bonus: Springsteen is particularly great when he plays Citizens Bank Park. - M.E.

» READ MORE: Kurt Rosenwinkel and Bandit 65

8 and 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Chris' Jazz Café, 1421 Sansom St. $30 early set, $25 late set. 8215-568-3131.

Long before becoming one of the leading voices in modern jazz, guitarist Kurt Rosenwinkel was a Philadelphia kid making the transition from rock to jazz on local stages like Chris' Jazz Café. When Rosenwinkel returns to the club this weekend for one of his regular homecomings, more of those rock roots will be showing. He'll be playing as part of Bandit 65, the trio he coleads with local six-string wizard Tim Motzer, best known for his expansive experimentation with electronics and effects. Together with percussionist Gintus Janusonis, they conjure brain-warping psych-fusion soundscapes sure to disorient unsuspecting patrons stopping in for a pleasant dinner and some wallpaper swing. For the throngs of fretwork worshipers that usually crowd the room for Rosenwinkel's shows, however, it should be an electrifying treat. - Shaun Brady

» READ MORE: Mehmet Polat Trio

7:30 p.m. Saturday at Calvary Center for Culture and Community, 801 S. 48th St. $20.

A world-music supergroup consisting of Mehmet Polat on oud (a Turkish lute), Victor Sams on kora (Wassoulou harp), and Pelin Basar on ney (reed flute), this ensemble play an entrancing mix of Ottoman, Anatolian, Balkan, and West African sounds. They open the season for the expansive Crossroads Music series. - M.H.

» READ MORE: Steve Gunn

7 p.m. Saturday, Lansdowne Theater, 33 N. Lansdowne Ave., $30. 610-622-1234.

Guitarist Steve Gunn is now based in Brooklyn, but he grew up in Lansdowne in Delaware County before getting his musical education in the Philadelphia-area music scene. His superb recent album, Eyes on the Lines, is his Matador Records debut and a collection of road songs that draws from the blues as it casts a hypnotic spell. On Saturday, Gunn comes home to play a benefit for the restoration of the Lansdowne Theater, kicking off the Lansdowne Arts on the Avenue Festival with a solo show in the theater lobby. - Dan DeLuca

» READ MORE: Rocky Rivera / Rye Rye / Pinkwash

6 p.m. Saturday, 421 N. Seventh St. Free with R.S.V.P.

The Women's Law Project is hosting abortion-rights events Saturday under the All Access banner, first with an afternoon event at the Trestle Inn featuring Nayo Jones and Tiffany Quinones, then with an early-evening concert at the Electric Factory with Baltimore rapper (and former Diplo collaborator) Rye Rye, Philly rockers Pinkwash, and Filipina American emcee Rocky Rivera, plus Philly rapper Joie Kathos, among others. It's free, but you must R.S.V.P. - D.D.

» READ MORE: Sleigh Bells

8:30 p.m. Monday, Union Transfer, 1026 Spring Garden St. $25. 215-232-2100.

Sleigh Bells' fourth album, Jessica Rabbit, isn't out until November, but the duo - guitarist Derek Miller and vocalist Alexis Krauss - will road test the new songs Monday at Union Transfer. While Jessica Rabbit has its share of the powerhouse drum-machine beats, hard-edged guitar riffs, and singsong chants that have been Sleigh Bells' thrilling signatures (and that, the band alleges, Demi Lovato illicitly appropriated for her hit "Stars"), the album stretches into metal ("Throw Me Down the Stairs") and electro-pop ("Lightning Turns Sawdust to Gold"). Krauss sings more sweetly and more aggressively than in the past, and although the tempo-shifting songs aren't as uniformly hook-heavy, they still are sharp, stark, and visceral. - Steve Klinge

» READ MORE: "The Inside View"

8 p.m. Friday at Eastern State Penitentiary Historic Site , 2027 Fairmount Ave. $10. 215-236-3300.

The invaluable Secret Cinema presents a site-specific program at Eastern State Penitentiary of short films about prison. The offerings include the 1983 drama The Expert, about a gas-chamber doctor training his replacement; Types of Inmates, a 1965 Canadian training film giving prison personnel tips on how to spot the Rebel, the Manipulator, and the Mental; a 1957 episode of the TV show M Squad, in which a detective (solidly hard-boiled Lee Marvin) goes undercover behind bars to solve a case; and Northwest Hounded Police, a 1946 Tex Avery cartoon in which Droopy trails an escaped convict. - M.H.

» READ MORE: One Man, Two Guvnors

12:30 p.m. Sunday at the Ambler Theater, 108 E Butler Ave, Ambler. $18. 215-345-7855.

Before he gained late-night fame singing with stars in cars, TV talk-show host James Corden was an acclaimed stage actor in England. In this adaptation of Goldoni's farce about a starving servant trying to juggle two bosses, Corden delivers a sparkling, antic turn. - M.H

» READ MORE: Notes of a Native Song

8 p.m. Through Sunday, plus 2 p.m. Saturday, the Wilma Theater, 265 S. Broad St., $15 (students, 25 & under), $35. 215-413-1318.

In this coproduction with FringeArts, Stew and Heidi Rodewald, creators of the rock musicals Passing Strange and The Total Bent, pay bluesy homage to writer James Baldwin. Less a biography than an exploration of Baldwin's creative influence, the show takes the form of a concert and includes banter, video, and plenty of guitar. - Wendy Rosenfield
