This weekend's looking pretty good for all things awesome. I'm excited. Are you?

Learn everything you've ever wanted to know about fashion in the 18th Century at this symposium on clothing and textiles in early America at the Montgomery County Community College's West Campus in Bluebell, PA. Discover the history behind the three-piece suit, footwear of early Americans and even attend a workshop where you'll make an infant jacket. The convention runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, July 19 and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday, July 20.

Shoppers will be pleased with this: You have two opportunities to score one-of-a-kind finds and super savings this weekend. The shops, galleries, eateries and boutiques in Kennett Square are rolling out deals during the Kennett Square Sidewalk Sale on Saturday, July 19 and Sunday, July 20. The sale runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday. Don't worry about parking either—all the garages are free.

Have a little bit of this, a little of that at this food and wine festival, taking place at Harrah's Casino and Racetrack in Chester, PA. The event runs from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. on the casino's patio where local eateries will share their meals and local bands will perform.

Throughout the week, hundreds of youth poets have flocked to Philadelphia to show off their spoken word performance skills.
