Delaware River Waterfront is bustling with summer fun

The Delaware River Waterfront will enhance summer experiences in 2025 with attractions like Spruce Street Harbor Park and Independence Blue Cross RiverRink Summerfest under the slogan "Make Summer Yours. " This initiative invites locals to participate in a variety of activities, including treasure hunts, fitness classes, and live performances. Joseph A. Forkin, President & CEO of the DRWC, states that the waterfront will be a vibrant hub for creating memories. Spruce Street Harbor Park will feature local bands, dance nights, and a "Family Fun Day Sunday" with PopUpPlay.

Meanwhile, Summerfest will mimic a boardwalk atmosphere with carnival games, mini-golf, and artist-led workshops. Food vendors such as Chickie’s & Pete’s and Philly Tacos will provide popular local dishes. The focus on community engagement and diverse events aims to foster a lively summer atmosphere. The waterfront's attractions and events are positioned to draw both locals and visitors alike.
