Things to See and Do in Philly This Weekend

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Jefferson chapter.

1. Art After 5

Live music fills the air while you roam the Philadelphia Art Museum. There are different music groups playing every Friday night from 5 pm until 8:45 pm. Most weeks seeing the bands is free with admission. However, for certain music groups there is an additional ticket cost, so check out the website for prices before you go!

2. Blue Cross RiverRink Winterfest

Take a skate while overlooking the Delaware River, eat a nice meal in the heated lodge, or warm up next to an outdoor fire pit. General admission is free, but you have to pay to rent skates and get onto the ice. Don’t forget to bundle up!

3. Race Street Pier

Take in the views of the Delaware River while walking along the Pier! The Pier is open from 7 am until 11 pm, giving you plenty of time to start the night by viewing a sunset with friends.

4. Unbounded Histories at The Barnes Foundation

Tour The Barnes Foundation with a soundtrack in hand that transforms the standard audio tour into a set of poems that connect with the works you see throughout the exhibition. Try it out and see a new angle of art!
