Spring Events in Philadelphia

When the flowers begin to bloom, Philly begins to boom with happenings of all kinds, both indoors and out, that awaken the city.

From the Japanese-inspired festivities at the Shofuso Cherry Blossom Festival to the waterfront boardwalk and brews at Spruce Street Harbor Park to the rollerskating rink and lodge at Blue Cross RiverRink Summerfest, plenty of fun awaits in spring.

Wannabe connoisseurs — or just people who love a brew — can refine their palates at Philly Beer Week. And sports fan can cheer on the best high school and collegiate track athletes — and Olympic hopefuls — at the annual Penn Relays.
