Labor Day Weekend on the Delaware River Waterfront

From August 29 to September 1, enjoy a jam-packed holiday weekend along the Delaware River Waterfront—free and open to all ages.

Catch live music, experience a camp-themed weekend at Cherry Street Pier, and take a final spin at Independence Blue Cross RiverRink Summerfest before the season ends.

Make it a full day by exploring all the waterfront parks, each offering food, drinks, and plenty of fun:

Cherry Street Pier – grab local bites and drinks while enjoying art and activities
Spruce Street Harbor Park – lounge in a hammock, play games, and take in the views
Independence Blue Cross RiverRink Summerfest – skate, play mini-golf, and enjoy boardwalk eats

Come for the activities, stay for the food, and soak up the last moments of summer along Philly’s most scenic stretch of the river.

Parking on-site will be limited due to I-95 CAP construction. However, many great ways to access the Waterfront include walking and biking along the Delaware River Trail, rideshare, and public transit. To ensure a seamless visit, guests can visit the ‘Know Before You Go’ guide for parking recommendations, directions, FAQs, and more.
