Events in Philadelphia
Map all locationsEach year, Philadelphia welcomes back perennial favorites — like The Mummers Parade, the Philadelphia International Flower Show and Sunoco Welcome America!, our week-long Fourth of July festival — but, year after year, they have to make room in the calendar for exciting, new events.
In 2010, Philadelphia will welcome exhibitions (Picasso and the Avant-Garde in Paris), festivals (Philagrafika 2010: The Graphic Unconscious) and a whole lot more — you’ll want to keep your schedule clear.
