Nestled in between Memorial Day and Independence Day, June is a wonderful time to enjoy Philadelphia, as spring turns to summer and temperatures are perfect for getting outside for festivals, concerts, carnivals, dining, garden strolls, hiking and biking.
The highlight of the month is the start of the 16-day Wawa Welcome America party on the Parkway that culminates on July 4th. In fact, major goings-on occur every week in June, including cultural events like the Odunde Festival and arts fests like West Park Arts Fest and Manayunk Arts Festival, along with thrift markets such as the Baltimore Avenue Dollar Stroll and live outdoor music led by The Roots Picnic.
Pride Month is celebrated across the region at the Philadelphia Pride March & Festival and Delaware County Pride Festival, plus an important date in Black history is honored at the Philadelphia Juneteenth Parade & Festival.
June also kicks off the fun at Philly’s favorite seasonal hotspots like Independence Blue Cross River Rink Summerfest, Rothman Orthopaedics Roller Rink and Spruce Street Harbor Park. On the food and drink side, the Parks on Tap roving beer garden gets underway, along with citywide specials during Philly Beer Week and Black Restaurant Week.
