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!
