November is that magical month between Halloween’s end to harvest season and Thanksgiving’s start of the holiday season. That means there’s a ton going on in Philadelphia.
Big November events in Philly include the Philadelphia Marathon (one of the nation’s largest), Siege Weekend at Fort Mifflin and two big parades, the 6abc Dunkin’ Thanksgiving Day Parade (the country’s oldest) and the Philadelphia Veterans Parade.
Two important reopenings come along this November, with the debut of Longwood Reimagined at Longwood Gardens and the return of the Giant Heart and Baldwin Locomotive at the new Body Odyssey and Hamilton Collections Gallery exhibits, respectively, at The Franklin Institute.
Two big cultural film festivals kick off as well: the Philadelphia Jewish Film + Media Fall Fest and the Philadelphia Asian American Film Festival.
And get your holidays rolling with celebrations like LumiNature at the Philadelphia Zoo and Holiday Kickoff Weekend at Peddler’s Village, plus the opening of the Made in Philadelphia and Christmas Village in Philadelphia holiday markets.
Grab your cute sweaters and cozy hoodies and explore these great November 2024 events in Philly.
