As America rings in its 250th anniversary on July 4, Philadelphia celebrates with free museum admission, concerts, and special events for the semiquincentennial. We also recommend celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Ben Franklin Bridge, the Major League Baseball All-Star Game, and a spaghetti-eating contest. In this episode, you’ll hear our best tips for enjoying Philly, plus lots of activity recommendations you won’t find elsewhere. And if you’re hungry for more food content, don’t miss Siani’s lists of the best barbecue spots, farmers markets, and restaurants for outdoor dining.
