Star Spangled Weekend on the Waterfront
Independence Weekend on the Waterfront is packed with so many stupendous events, scrumptious eats, and magnificent views, you won’t want to celebrate your July 4th weekend anywhere but Cherry Street Pier.
Explore the new Cherry Street Pier and it’s interactive art installations and artist studios (don’t forget to say hello to our resident creators), and – of course – an open-air garden filled with cafe tables, life-size games, and breathtaking vistas you can’t find anywhere else (also a perfect viewing location for the fireworks along with neighboring Race Street Pier).
Plan your July 4th weekend on the waterfront by checking out our full schedule of events, and a full menu of eats from Birdies Biscuits, Cooperage Philly, Hardena, and Little Baby’s Ice Cream , plus an delicious assortment of draft wines and local brews from the Cherry Street Pier bar (Bar Hours: Friday 5pm to 10pm, Saturday and Sunday 1pm to 6pm).
