Make this Independence Day one to remember by joining us at the Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish History, where history comes to life. Located on Philadelphia’s historic Independence Mall, there is no better place for history enthusiasts and families to celebrate. On our nation’s birthday, enjoy a day of activities to promote a deeper understanding of our nation’s culture and values.
Philly’s official 4th of July parade kicks off in Old City at 11 AM, beginning at 5th & Chestnut Streets and ending at Broad and Arch Streets. Join us after the parade for a joy-filled and patriotic day!
