Philadelphia Events

Philadelphia events bring the energy—whether it’s a massive parade or a cozy neighborhood celebration.

This city knows how to party, protest, cheer, and celebrate with heart.

Use our guide to find the best things happening while you’re in town.

Year-Round Celebrations

Philly’s calendar is stacked.

From the Mummers Parade to holiday markets, outdoor concerts, and food fests, there’s always something worth planning around.

We break events down by season and vibe so you can pick what fits—whether that’s family-friendly, date-night-ready, or just free and fun.

Local Flavor, Citywide Energy

Big-ticket events are just the beginning.

Philly shines with block parties, cultural festivals, live music pop-ups, and open streets weekends.

You’ll find markets full of local makers, Juneteenth parades, LGBTQ+ celebrations, and foodie events with serious flavor.

Our writeups include parking tips, entry info, and what to bring (hint: probably stretchy pants).

Always Something New

Philadelphia doesn’t sleep on its event game.

That means rotating art exhibits, museum nights, seasonal light shows, and limited-time pop-ups.

Want something off the radar? We cover the smaller happenings, too—because some of the best memories come from surprises.
