What are you doing July 4th while in Philly?
What are some nice events to attend??

One of the most popular events in the city every year is definitely watching the fireworks from the steps of the Philadelphia Art Museum. It truly is an incredible show but since it's the most popular you really have to get there early if you'd prefer to be sitting down on the steps while you enjoy the show.

If you prefer watching the fireworks in a different setting, the show at Longwood Gardens is also incredible, and that information can be found in more detail at the following link:

Of course, Philadelphia has a ton of history, so there is much more to do and see than just the fireworks - here I'm attaching the official Philadelphia website with a complete list of the events for the weekend. You'll definitely have a great time - enjoy!
