THIS EVENT IS CANCELLED

Kensington-based Federal Distilling and Stateside Urbancraft Vodka will host debut live ‘Sweets and Beats’ event on Thursday, June 2nd between 6:30 PM and 9:30 PM.

‘Sweets and Beats’ is the side project of Chef Lila Collelo of Brûlée Bakery, and her husband Blake Collelo, known as electronic music artist Pixel8ter.

In 2015, they began ‘Sweets and Beats’ as a live-streamed cooking and baking demonstration (by Lila) paired with live electronic music (by Blake). The “dinner and a show in your living room” steams on Twitch several times per week.

Now the show is going live for the very first time at Federal Distilling and Stateside Urbancraft Vodka in the Kensington neighborhood of Philadelphia!

The ‘Sweets and Beats’ Live party will be an interactive social event that allows guests to mingle, drink, nosh, and dance at Stateside’s chic Federal Distilling Room, full-service cocktail lounge, adjacent to the distillery located at 1700 N. Hancock Street, Philadelphia, PA 19122.

• Savory gluten-free appetizers and light bites by Shamrock Catering;

• Signature cocktails by Mixologist Kyle DiRaddo of Stateside Vodka;

• Delectable gluten-free desserts (‘sweets’) by Chef Lila Colello from Brulee Bakery;
