One of the most highly-anticipated (and beloved) events on Memorial Day Weekend is the Sail Philadelphia Celebration at Penn’s Landing. Watch tall ships travel around the waterfront and do “displays of pagentry” in the Parade of Sail on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Enjoy the waterfront festival on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., with live entertainment, a beer garden, food, and activities, all along the waterfront.

Don’t miss one of the weekend’s highlights—a free fireworks show on the Delaware Riverfront Saturday night.

The second annual Hoagie Nation music festival is coming back to Philly this year with acts like Hall and Oates, Train, Fitz and the Tantrums, and more. Tickets are on sale now for the Saturday event, in case you’re looking for a livelier way to spend your Memorial Day Weekend. If you’re willing to pay a little more for your tickets, you can get admission to a pre-party on Friday night (complete with a “chef driven hoagie experience”).

If you’re looking to really take in the spirit of the Memorial Day weekend, The Philly Pops’ annual Memorial Salute has you covered. The free concert at the Mann Center for the Performing Arts will feature patriotic anthems to honor veterans, current members of the military, police, and firefighters.

It’s not surprising that Philly has a multitude of Memorial Day events that celebrate the country’s history. After all, we are the birthplace of America (despite that whole Boston debate). Add to that Memorial Day Weekend list a truly Philly event: Independence After Hours. The event starts with an 18th century inspired dinner, and moves on to Independence Hall, where visitors learn about the Declaration of Independence. Remember to bring comfortable walking shoes! The tour covers about eight city blocks.

If you need a break from celebrations—or you just want to spend some quality time outside—Parks on Tap is a great bet. Celebrate the long weekend with beer, sun and some great walking opportunities down at the historic, 100-year-old FDR park.

Are you looking to take in some history but still be outside? Head over to the Laurel Hill Cemetery Sunday at noon for a recreation of the traditional Decoration Day service to honor veterans. There will be wreath laying and speeches, followed by complimentary beer and refreshments.

There’s a new, interactive pop up exhibit in Philly, meant for all those who love Instagram, or just taking fun photos. The exhibit, called Photo Pop Philly, has five different rooms with interactive displays by local artists. The theme is American history-inspired with red, white, and blue installations. Photos are encouraged so bring your camera or phone!
