Philadelphia, PALocal News

Philadelphia's weekend brings a refreshing break from the recent heat wave, inviting residents to outdoor festivities. The Under the El Bazaar returns on Saturday from noon to 7 p. m. on Front Street, featuring local craft vendors and live music, with restaurants like LMNO and Evil Genius Beer Co. providing special outdoor menus.

Adventure Aquarium's new Kaleidoscope Cove exhibit, which opens Saturday, allows visitors to interact with starfish and other vibrant marine species, enhancing the educational experience. Eakins Oval's summer pop-up includes a Philly-themed mini golf course and a lineup of community events, such as outdoor movie screenings and workout classes. Daryl Morey's musical "Small Ball," which humorously places basketball in a Lilliputian context, concludes its run this weekend at Philadelphia Theatre Co. with tickets available for $38. These events not only promote local culture but also support community engagement and entertainment.

Residents are encouraged to participate and enjoy the diverse offerings throughout the city.
