About this episode
The episode provides a guide to May 2026 events and activities in Philadelphia, including festivals, local exhibits, and community involvement.
May kicks off festival season in the city. From music to food, we couldn’t be more excited to check out the festivals Philly is offering this month. We also recommend exploring the exhibit about monuments and Philly’s boxing legacy at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, a restaurant serving falafel hoagies, and an ACME where you can win prizes for singing. For the Broad Street Run on May 3, our team and our City Cast Philly Neighbors will be stationed at a water station at Broad and Spruce Streets, near the Kimmel Center, cheering on runners and keeping them hydrated. The team will also have a table at the Art Star Craft Bazaar on Mother's Day weekend, May 9 and May 10, at Cherry Street Pier. And read up on local civics with Siani’s election guides for the May 19 primary. For even more tips on how to make the most of May in Philly, check out our newsletter.
