With the Eagles' first win of the season under our belt, Philadelphians can head into this weekend feeling a little lighter. While this means we don't have a game to look forward to Sunday, consider your weekend freed up!
The City of Brotherly Love is hosting major musical acts this weekend, including Sting and Shaggy's One Fine Day music festival at The Mann and Tate McRae's Miss Posessive Tour at the Xfinity Mobile Arena.
The region is also home to the Philadelphia Fringe Festival, Kennett Square Mushroom Festival and Philly Fun Fishing Festival — to name a few.
Here's what else is happening in Philadelphia this weekend.
Tate McRae at Xfinity Mobile Arena
Pop star and dance phenom, Tate McRae, is ready to wow audiences this Saturday night at the newly-renamed Xfinity Mobile Arena, formerly known as the Wells Fargo Center.
You don't need a "Sports car" to see this musical it-girl in concert, but you definitely will need a ticket! Prices will cost you quite a bit, though, with tickets ranging from $204 to over $880 on Ticketmaster.com.
McRae will be joined by fellow pop singer Zara Larsson, known for hits like "Symphony," "Words," and "Lush Life."
After the Philly show, the Miss Possessive Tour will head down south to Atlanta, Georgia, and Nashville, Tennessee.
Philadelphia Marketplace in Dilworth Park
Center City's latest open-air marketplace is now open. The Philadelphia Marketplace returns to Dilworth Park on Sept. 5 and will be open every Friday and Saturday through Sept. 27.
Presented by the team behind the beloved Christmas Village, guests can browse through dozens of local vendors, offering everything from handmade jewelry and candles to other home goods.
The event is free for all.
New Hope hosts Eagles block party, fireworks, drone show
Even though Labor Day has come and gone and school is back in session for many, this doesn't mean the summer season is officially over just yet. The final act of Visit New Hope's Summer Series, which features fireworks and drone shows, is scheduled for Friday night!
This series finale blends the end of summer with the best of fall — football season! That's right, it's a Philadelphia Eagles-themed block party, followed by a Go Birds-inspired drone and fireworks show. The Bird Gang block party, celebrating the start of football season, runs from 5 p.m. until 9 p.m. The drone and fireworks show will then close out the night, beginning at 9:35 p.m.
Of course, no Eagles-themed block party is complete without food and drink specials fit for a tailgate at the Linc. There will also be live music, a DJ, face painting, sports-themed vendors and more!
Celebrate the end of the summer and the Eagles' first win of the season this Friday.
