The 4th in Philly




The annual Sunoco Welcome America! festival, is happening this Saturday July 4th!! Expect some brilliant fireworks displays, delicious dishes, cultural events and the largest free concert in America!!

Starting July 2-5 the City of Brotherly love hosts millions of residents and visitors for a celebration of the nation’s birthday. The morning of July 4 begins with traditional ceremonies on historic Independence Mall, followed by a parade through Historic Philadelphia (new route!) with bands, flags and pageantry reminiscent of an old-fashioned Main Street, USA parade. The YoCo's will be there!! Then in the afternoon, the “Party on the Parkway” will feature activities, games, food and entertainment for the whole family, set in front of the Philadelphia Museum of Art on Ben Franklin Parkway. The original headliner announced was Sheryl Crow...but now we've been told that The Legendary Roots Crew will be there too!!!! You KNOW that will be amazing!!

The music and fun will be followed by an amazing fireworks grand finale set against the dramatic Art Museum.

Join the YoCo's in celebrating what every Philadelphian already knows – that the best place to celebrate America’s birthday is here, in Philly aka America’s birthplace.
