Police motorcycle stunts, K-9 demonstrations and fire-rescue exercises will take over part of South Philly during the 71st annual Hero Thrill Show.

The show will feature stunts from the Philadelphia Police Motorcycle Highway Patrol Drill Team, along with demonstrations from K-9 and bicycle units. Attendees can also watch fire-rescue exercises reaching 40 feet in the air and see fire trucks, mounted police and equipment used by several Philadelphia Police Department units.
The afternoon will begin with a motorcade of police, fire and Hero Thrill Show vehicles. Fire truck rides and music from longtime Philadelphia DJ Bob Pantano also are planned.
The annual event raises money to help pay for the college education of children of Philadelphia police officers and firefighters who died in the line of duty. Families of fallen first responders will be among those attending.
