Summa-tiiiiime! And the living is: amazing! To help you get the biggest bang for your time, here’s our monthly guide to the best June activities and events in Philadelphia.

🪩 Shake That Groove Thing

June in Philly is an amazing time for festivals. Head to the West Philly Porchfest on June 8 for free music shows. Wake up the next morning and keep the party going at the Odunde Festival at 23rd and South streets. If you’re looking for fun for the whole family, check out the Kidchella Music Festival on June 21.

🎉 Celebrate Good Times, Come On!

It’s Pride Month! This year’s Pride March and Festival will be on June 2. Plus, check out the Queerpalooza thrift and music event on June 8. And mark your calendars: The Juneteenth Parade will be on June 16, with Mayor Cherelle Parker serving as this year’s grand marshal!

😋 Eat Your Heart Out, Philly

Starting June 5, bars and restaurants in the Center City District will offer drink and appetizer specials from 5 to 7 p.m. every Wednesday, including $6 wine, half-priced apps, and more at participating locations. And, if you’re a fan of Neighborhood Ramen off of South Street, this month will be your last chance to slurp on their delicious food before they close their doors on June 30!

What’s Philly’s Connection to Edgar Allan Poe?

The “The Tell-Tale Heart” author lived in several homes in the city, but only one remains to this day.

A mural on a brick wall depicting a portrait of Edgar Allan Poe against a blue background in an oval frame. He is wearing a black dress coat and tie, and white shirt. Beside him is a quote from his short story Hop-Frog: “ I never knew anyone so keenly alive to joke as the king was. He seemed to live only for joking. To tell a good story of the joke kind, and to tell it well, was the surest road to his favor.”
