Summer is not over yet! August in Philly is a great time to enjoy outdoor movies and concerts, summer festivals, and the best beach days.

We're over that midsummer hump, but Philly brings the family fun in its summer homestretch. Encanto's been making the rounds on the outdoor movie circuit this summer, but nothing beats the Encanto Outdoor Sing-Along Concert at the Mann this month, with an onstage band playing along with the movie on a big screen. Festivals run the gamut this month, from fruit and harvest fests at Linvilla and Brecknock, to cultural celebrations like the Celebrate Asia Fest at Race Street Pier, to Clay Fest in Kensington. Some summer favorites get ready to close up shop this month, including the Oval XP, so get that summer bucket list ready before school's back in session.
