Listeners looking for exciting things to do in Philadelphia this week will find the city buzzing with activities that blend entertainment, art, food, music, and unique local culture. Tonight, September 4th, catch the Philadelphia Eagles kicking off the NFL season against the Dallas Cowboys at Lincoln Financial Field—a marquee matchup that draws both devoted sports fans and newcomers eager for the electric atmosphere of a live football game, with coverage beginning at 7:00 pm on NBC and Peacock.
Art and music lovers can head to The Mann Center on Saturday, September 6, for the One Fine Day Festival, which brings together Grammy winners Sting and Shaggy along with a dynamic lineup including O.A.R., The Original Wailers, Big Freedia, and others, making for an unforgettable evening of multigenre performances.
Philadelphia’s Fringe Festival, running all month, offers over 300 performances in theater, dance, and interactive art across the city. Pop into the Philly Puppet Slam for a night of playful adult-oriented puppetry and live music, or see “La Otra,” a bilingual play running September 12-28 at The Arcadia Stage at the Arden. With shows at venues large and small, the Fringe is your ticket to experimental and immersive experiences found nowhere else.
For a truly local flavor, the 40th Annual Mushroom Festival in Kennett Square happens September 6 and 7, featuring creative mushroom dishes, fun contests, food trucks, and vendor stalls celebrating the region’s culinary heritage. On Saturday, the Honey Fest 2025 at Wyck Historic House and Garden offers open hive conversations, bee-bearding, honey tastings, beer gardens, and storytelling—a unique blend of urban beekeeping education and family fun.
Those in search of outdoor adventures can join a group kayak excursion from Camden to Philly, an invigorating way to enjoy the river views and connect with fellow enthusiasts. For a more whimsical outdoor experience, stroll the enchanting Garden Railway at Morris Arboretum, featuring model trains winding through brilliantly landscaped displays focused on pollinators from around the world.
If food and drink is more your style, check out Drink the Delaware at Independence Seaport Museum on Sunday, September 7, where local breweries and distilleries showcase their craft with waters from the Delaware River, accompanied by live music and tastings aboard the historic Olympia.
Art enthusiasts have plenty to explore: Friday night’s Artists and Artisans Market at Cherry Street Pier lets you browse local crafts and taste from food stalls right by the waterfront. Or you might visit the Museum of Illusions for mind-bending exhibits perfect for both the curious and the social media savvy.
Hidden gems abound for the curious visitor. Try Storytime with Melanie at the American Helicopter Museum for families with kids, or venture to Glencairn Museum for the Sacred Adornment Tour, melding art, spirituality, and hands-on exploration. Early risers can browse fresh produce and handmade treats at Saturday’s Chestnut Hill Farmers' Market, while those with a passion for giving back can join a community volunteering session with Mama-Tee.
Philadelphia is also in celebration mode, gearing up for America’s 250th anniversary with special citywide events, public art, and neighborhood festivals as part of the “Ring It On! One Philly, A United Celebration” initiative, as announced by Mayor Cherelle L. Parker. Expect to see pop-up community celebrations and innovative beautification projects enhancing Philly’s neighborhoods throughout the fall.
