Monday’s all about places to go and things do
All aboard! This week’s list of things to do in Philadelphia flips the calendar to May — and festival season is coming at you like a train.
Philly’s stacked with festivals this week, including the return of beloved faves like the Rittenhouse Row Spring Festival (Saturday), the South Street Spring Fest (Saturday), the Fishtown Music & Arts Festival (Saturday), and the Chestnut Hill Home + Garden Festival (Sunday). Whew!
As the birthplace and hometown of some of the most notable figures in jazz history, including Billie Holiday, John Coltrane, Ethel Waters and Dizzy Gillespie, Philly’s jazz roots run deep — and the city is celebrating through the end of April with Philly Jazz Month.
Cheer on tens of thousands of runners as they lace up for one of Philly’s most iconic races: the annual Independence Blue Cross Broad Street Run (Sunday).
And Romeo and Juliet gets reimagined at the Academy of Music (opens Thursday), and it’s your last chance to experience Philly Theatre Week (through Sunday).
Plus, it’s both Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month and Jewish American Heritage Month all throughout May, with events at Shofuso Japanese Cultural Center, the Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish History and more.
