Submitted by Kristen Sullivan on
With a boom, a sparkle, and a sizzle, the first weekend in July unleashes its many patriotic celebrations, perfect for every Philly family.
Eat a traditional Fourth of July BBQ with Elmo, Zoe, and the gang from Sesame Street at Sesame Place. Or, indulge in a Red, White, and Blue BBQ Bash at Peddlers' Village. Visit the African American Museum in Philadelphia, National Constitution Center, Brandywine River Museum, or The Barnes Foundation for free. Celebrate our nation's birthday by stepping back in time to learn how to write with a quill pen or to see how soldiers lived during the Revolutionary War. End the weekend with firework fun at Ridley Park, Nottingham County Park, or Longwood Gardens.
