This street festival will feature vendors, activities, food trucks, and a live DJ. Connect with partner organizations like the Museum of the American Revolution and the National Constitution Center to explore what Philadelphia’s history community has to offer for students, teachers, and families alike.
Then, step inside the Historical Society of Pennsylvania to experience the work of student historians as they share their National History Day projects—from documentaries to performances to websites! Plus, explore a pop-up exhibit highlighting HSP’s collection on local Black history.
Open to all, History on the Street: Back to School Edition is the perfect way to close out the nation’s 250th summer celebration and get inspired and excited for what’s next!
