Weekend Fun for Philly Kids: Airplanes, Star Wars, Performances August 22-23
How could this have happened? How could there only be two (or in some cases one) more weeks of summer left before school begins? Make the most of these remaining summer days by turning to our Event Calendar which offers lots of fun for Philly families.
Meet characters from Star Wars at the Please Touch Museum. Check out New Garden Flying Field's Festival of Flight Air & Car Show. Catch Media Theatre's Aladdin Jr. or Hedgerow Theatre's Beauty and the Beast as they close this weekend. Or, get outside to learn about bugs, butterflies and mushrooms. On the other hand, embrace that school is almost here and get some 'Back to School' deals at an area consignment sale.
Stay up-to-date on the latest fun by following us on Twitter and Pinterest, like us on Facebook and sign up for our free weekly newsletter which is delivered every Thursday. Have fun soaking up the last few weeks of summer fun.
