Why you should go…

Every summer, Penn's Landing transforms into an urban oasis of rainbow hammocks, twinkling LED-lit trees, floating barges with food and drinks, and lawn games along the Delaware River. It's free to wander, gorgeous at dusk, and equally great for families by day and date nights after dark. One of the most beloved pop-up parks in the country.
