7 days of things to do in Philly, Sept. 8-14: Morrissey, Cat Film Festival, Kacey Musgraves
Plus: A swanky harvest moon cocktail party, Jewelers Row's block party, and the Philadelphia Honey Festival.
SUNDAY
Philadelphia Honey Festival
Stop by Bartram’s Garden on the final day of this buzzy event for local honey, arts and crafts, a plant sale, talks from beekeepers, and open hive demonstrations. There’s limited parking for $5, so biking and public transit may be the best bet.
10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Bartram’s Garden, 5400 Lindbergh Blvd., free, phillyhoneyfest.com
MONDAY
Morrissey
The former frontman of the Smiths hits Camden with post-punk band Interpol, which released its sixth studio album, Marauder, last summer.
7:30 p.m., BB&T Pavilion, 1 Harbour Blvd., Camden, $25 and up, 856-365-1300, livenation.com
TUESDAY
Cat Film Festival
This cinematic celebration of felines debuted last December in New York City to sold-out crowds. Though a portion of the proceeds go to animal welfare nonprofits, don’t worry: This is not an elongated SPCA commercial. Each work ends on a happy note, so the only tears you’ll be shedding will be of joy.
7 to 9 p.m., Ritz Five, 214 Walnut St., $15, 215-440-1184, catfilmfestival.com
WEDNESDAY
Kacey Musgraves
The Album of the Year Grammy award-winner hits the Met after playing a sold-out concert at the Fillmore earlier this year. Unsurprisingly, this one’s sold out as well.
8 p.m., the Met Philadelphia, 858 N. Broad St., sold out but resale tickets available, 800-653-8000, themetphilly.com
THURSDAY
Astronomy Night
Bring a blanket to the Rail Park for stargazing. But that’s not the only thing going on there — you can also catch a performance by BalletX, attend outdoor workshops with REI and check out a space talk with Dr. Gary Bernstein, a Penn professor of astronomy and astrophysics.
6 to 10 p.m., the Rail Park, Noble and North Broad Streets, free, 215-440-5500, therailpark.org
FRIDAY AND SATURDAY
Otsukimi Moon Viewing Party
The Japanese holiday Otsukimi celebrates the harvest moon, and this swank party at Shofuso includes viewing tables decorated with Japanese pampas grass and tsukimi-dango (rice dumplings). Guests can also enjoy cocktails, bento boxes, and live musical performances. Cocktail attire is required.
7 to 9 p.m., Friday, Shofuso Japanese House and Garden, Horticultural and Lansdowne Drives, $100 per person, 215-878-5097, japanphilly.org
Jewelers Row Festival
This jewelry-centric block party celebrating the country’s oldest diamond district has it all — sparkly baubles, food offerings and family-friendly activities for the little ones.
Noon to 5 p.m., Saturday, Jewelers Row, Sansom Street between Seventh and Eighth Streets, free, jrow.org
