National History Day Philly and the Historical Society of Pennsylvania invite guests to an end-of-summer celebration for the whole family. Kick off the school year with museums, cultural organizations, and community partners sharing their resources through a day of fun and discovery.
This street festival will feature vendors, activities, food trucks, and a live DJ.
