For those itching to celebrate Labor Day weekend in Philly a little early, this Thursday is the last opportunity to check out the Philly River Stroll’s special offerings from 5 to 9 p.m. The indoor and outdoor variety of activations along the water-side walkway spans a fresh lineup of food and beverage specials from Morgan’s Pier, Moshulu, Spruce Street Harbor Park and Cherry Street Pier, plus discounted attractions, and free live entertainment.
Thursday night specials include $1 off Hibiscus Lemonade and Summer Sangria and buy one, get one free French Toast Bites from the Garden Restaurant at Cherry Street Pier. Other unique offerings include $5 ferry tickets for adults, seniors, students, and children (from 4 to 6 p.m.) for the RiverLink Ferry, a free lock to place on the Philadelphia Hope Fence with the purchase of the“Hope-Tini Cocktail” at Keating’s Rope and Anchor Bar + Kitchen, and a slew of activations from Independence Blue Cross RiverRink Summerfest (like buy one get one ferris wheel rides.)
But that’s not all. As a release states, during this week, there will also be a pop-up book workshop held by former Cherry Street Pier resident artist Colette Fu where attendees will have the opportunity to learn pop-up techniques, create their own pop-up card, and interact with a variety of pop-up books and art. Plus, DJ Femi of Worldtown Soundsystem and a circus performer will entertain guests at Independence Blue Cross RiverRink Summerfest, while DJ Nugget, presented by Q102, and another circus act perform at Spruce Street Harbor Park and circus performers take over The Great Plaza at Penn’s Landing.
