With holiday shopping lurking around the corner, you’re probably gripping that wallet a little tighter. But you don’t have to be a high roller to get your culture fix this fall. We’ve got a few autumnal events for you to enjoy — for absolutely free.
Campus Philly College Day
Students, come out and explore one of our world-class museums without having to worry about writing a paper on it. This day-long festival along the Ben Franklin Parkway will feature local DJs the Choice Tasters Selectors, who’ll be spinning beats while you chow down on free food on the Art Museum steps. Then head off, student ID in hand, to Eastern State Penitentiary, the National Constitution Center, the National Museum of American Jewish History or one of our other cultural hotspots.
