History

For over 30 years, arts enthusiasts living on the 100 block of North Mole Street have embraced the summer solstice with an all-day block party called Molestice. On the longest day of the year, the corner of Race and Mole streets in Philadelphia come alive with the sounds of melodies and smells of delicious food.

In recent years, Mole Street has produced the annual event, transforming it from a neighborhood block party to a full-scale music festival, while remaining true to its community performance roots. The Mole Street team is passionate about the annual event and has high expectations for the future. As they say on the Molestice website:

"We want to see Molestice become what Jazz Fest is to New Orleans—taking over the city with a celebration of music, culture and camaraderie!"
