As April gets underway, Philadelphia’s calendar fills up with concerts, outdoor hangouts and a busy weekend of festivals and markets.
Music leads things early in the week. Cardi B is in town Tuesday at Xfinity Mobile Arena, while Weeknights Live starts up across the city Monday through Wednesday. Philly Jazz Month is also underway, with shows continuing through April.
By midweek, some seasonal spots are back open. Parks on Tap returns Wednesday, Liberty Beer Garden is open Wednesdays through Sundays, and Bok Bar reopens Thursday in South Philly.
A couple of smaller events are also on the schedule. Firefly Hours begins Tuesday in Germantown with activities for all ages, and Science After Hours is back Friday at the Franklin Institute.
Heading into the weekend, markets and festivals take over. The Made in Philadelphia Marketplace runs Friday through Sunday at Dilworth Park, and Philly Otaku Fest is at Cherry Street Pier during the same stretch.
