Riverfest

  • Glen Foerd 5001 Grant Avenue Philadelphia, PA, 19114 United States (map)

****EVENT CANCELED DUE TO SEVERE WEATHER****

The rain may have delayed us, but we’re back with RiverFest 2.0! We’re so excited for you to join us at our annual celebration focusing on our nature themed programs. There will be open boating on the Poquessing Creek and Delaware River so come explore the water on one of Glen Foerd’s kayaks, canoes, or rowboats.

*Boating will take place from 12- 3:30 due to tidal changes.

On land, you can enjoy some educational activities about bees, arts and crafts using upcycled and natural materials with Kids Art Shop, or play around in our Lily P.A.D.S. playground while enjoying some hands-on activities. We are proud to host partner organizations with activities from Riverfront North, Tacony Lab, Wissahickon Environmental Center, and the Pennypack Environmental Center.

Shop wares from local artists, Hinch Worm Art, Meg Lemieur Art, and Taiku. Grab a sweet treat from Mister Softee.

Bring a blanket or some chairs and enjoy the views of the Delaware River and Poquessing Creek. Tour the house and investigate the grounds with our QR audio tour kiosks located throughout the park. Make sure to bring sunscreen, water, and anything else you might need to enjoy the outdoors!

*unfortunately there will be no food truck so please bring your own lunch.
