July 4th is back in Philly: Weekend lineup of events
FOX 29 s Shawnette Wilson has more.
PHILADELPHIA - It’s a block party outside the Barnes and David Rich is dancing his way into July Fourth weekend with his daughter Diana. Dancing is in our blood so she hears music, she looks at me, grabs my hand and says lets go. We got to do it, said David. Diana was in the crowd of line dancers and stealing the show. David and his wife Ilyana say it’s nice to have July 4th back in Philly again. This is awesome to just get out and get a little bit of fresh air and space. I think it’s been a long time that we’ve been waiting to get out here, get vaxed and just get out here, said Ilyana.
Local arts and culture institutions are getting recognized this July during "Arts and Culture Recovery Week," an initiative geared towards helping the arts scene recover after the pandemic.
