Once a series of dilapidated piers and underutilized public spaces, Philadelphia’s Delaware River waterfront has undergone a number of thrilling developments in the 21st century on its way to becoming one of the most exciting spots in the city for residents and visitors.
Encompassing parts of Fishtown, Northern Liberties, Old City, Society Hill, Queen Village and Pennsport, the waterfront boasts some of the coolest parks in the city (Spruce Street Harbor Park, Race Street Pier), great outdoor venues for concerts, festivals and more (Great Plaza), big-name attractions (Rivers Casino, Independence Seaport Museum) and, of course, stellar views of the Benjamin Franklin Bridge.
The epicenter of it all is Penn’s Landing. This reclaimed space — which runs the length of Center City along the waterfront — always has something fun going on, including festivals, concerts, free movies, beer gardens, yoga, roller-skating and ice-skating.
