50 THINGS TO DO IN AUGUST
This month is stacked. We’re talkin’ sweaty dance parties, end-of-summer fests, rooftop hangs, and more. We handpicked the wildest, weirdest, and most can’t-miss events happening in Philly this August. Go get into it.
THIS WEEKEND
🛍 Punk Rock Flea Market

It’s been 20 years since you first cried to “Over My Head.” The Fray is back to play the hits that made you feel things in 2005. Don’t forget to bring tissues.
💃 Minka
