All-American Cookout and Fine Art & Craft Fair

Everyone is welcome at the All-American Cookout, a free and festive five-day jubilee that celebrates the official start of summer at Dilworth Park. Beginning Wednesday, June 19 through Sunday, June 23, the All-American Cookout takes America’s favorite summer pastime and adds a generous and delicious helping of distinctly Philadelphia flavor. A weekend-long lineup of activities will include classic carnival games and fun contests for people and pets, including a Patriotic Pooch challenge and a watermelon eating competition. SIPS specials will be offered on Wednesday evening.

A full entertainment lineup will include DJs, bands and solo performers, all hailing from the Philadelphia area. The popular Fine Art and Craft Fair is set to return on Saturday and Sunday, welcoming local artisans and crowds of small business supporters.
