Written by on 18.05.17

Each year, residents of the historical city of Philadelphia welcome the summer months with excitement by attending the Memorial Day Summerfest.  This is a nostalgic place to regale the warm days of summer and to relive the ways you have greeted this popular season in the past.

About Summerfest

This annual event is held at the Blue Cross RiverRink in Philadelphia. It lasts from Memorial Day weekend until Labor Day. A free event that is open daily to the public, this is a wonderful venue for people of all ages who crave exercise in the great outdoors, or social activities with friends and family.

Activities

At Summerfest, you can revive your adolescent skills by renting some roller skates. While you glide along the hockey-grade flooring at the rink, you can admire the views of the nearby Delaware River. There is also a nine-hole miniature golf course that was created entirely from recycled materials. If you want to rest and rejuvenate after your time at the rink or golf course, take advantage of the picnic tables, beach umbrellas and lounge chairs located at the Urban Beach.

Summerfest also offers plenty of tasty foods and libations at Chickie’s and Pete’s Waterfront Crabshack. Here you can dine on various types of seafood and other local favorites, such as wings, or cheesesteak sandwiches. The restaurant is located inside the lodge and is decorated in the style of an old-fashioned boathouse.

There are also many entertaining events scheduled throughout the summer, such as craft bazaars, multicultural festivals or live jazz music.
