Brrr…it’s cold out there! Here are some things worth getting out of the house for. Put down the remote, bundle up, and fly the coop with these Philly events.
Blue Cross RiverRink Winterfest
November 23, 2018 – March 3, 2019
Blue Cross RiverRink Winterfest has been around all winter, but your time to ice skate is dwindling. Take advantage of the cold and get some exercise on the ice. Then reward yourself with a house-made hot chocolate or craft beer at the cozy, indoor Lodge. You’ll be transported to the mountains in no time.
Shen Yun
February 8 – March 3, 2019 (select dates)
You’ve seen the ads everywhere, and now it’s time to experience the ancient art of Chinese dance for yourself. The spectacle of Shen Yun’s mind-boggling choreography, gorgeous costumes, and talented orchestra are here in Philly all month long at Merriam Theater.
Broadway Philadelphia Presents Rodgers + Hammerstein’s Cinderella
February 22-24, 2019
A wish is a dream your heart makes, and if your heart dreams to see Cinderella on Broadway, its wish can come true! If the shoe fits, head over to the Academy of Music to see Rodgers + Hammerstein’s Tony Award®-winning Broadway musical about a girl, a glass slipper, and a prince.
Kennett Winterfest
Saturday, February 23, 2019 | 12:30-4 p.m.
Kennett Square is brewing up a good time! Hop on over for all-you-can-drink lagers, stouts, IPAs, hard ciders, and more as you choose from 60 unique craft breweries, including 2SP, Cape May, Dogfish Head, Saranac, and Two Roads—plus, live music and food trucks! Good thing you’ll have your liquid blanket on—this event takes place outside under two heated tents.
PHS Philadelphia Flower Show
March 2-10, 2019
Floral fans need to get tickets to the Philadelphia Flower Show. The theme this year is Flower Power, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Woodstock. Flower children are invited to peruse the world’s largest indoor flower show, catch floral design workshops and demos, and more. This event is truly a sight to see.
Philly Craft Beer Festival
Saturday, March 2, 2019 | 12:30-5 p.m.
You just really can’t have enough craft beer festivals to while away the winter blues. This one, now in its 13th year, was named “One of the Top 10 Beer Festivals in America” by Forbes Traveler. Get tickets; the beer fest always sells out, and for good reason. More than 75 of the best local and national craft breweries set up shop in South Philly’s Navy Yard, offering over 200 beers for the tasting.
St. Patrick’s Day Parade
Sunday, March 10, 2019 | 11:15 a.m.-3 p.m.
Everyone’s Irish on St. Paddy’s Day, but for some reason, this year’s parade is one whole week before the actual holiday. Shenanigans! Nevertheless, head to Center City the Sunday before St. Patrick’s Day to watch marching bands, decorated floats, music and dance groups, and more parade down John F. Kennedy Boulevard and Market Street.
See something you like? These Philly events won’t be here long, so what are you waiting for? Get out of your apartment, grab some friends, and explore all that your city has to offer.
