Savor the flavor of the menus of some of Philadelphia’s finest restaurants as the city’s best chefs convene at A Taste of Philadelphia to prepare their favorite dishes — a fitting tribute to the variety of eateries that make Philadelphia a diverse dining destination!
In 2008, this annual event found a new home, on the Great Plaza at Penn’s Landing. A Taste of Philadelphia will kick off the Sunoco Welcome America! Celebration, taking place on Friday, June 26 from 5:00 p.m.-8:00 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday, June 27 and 28 from 11:00 a.m.-7:00 p.m., as part of the Sunoco Welcome America! Festival.
A Taste of Philadelphia is a chance to indulge in fine dining on a fast food budget with entrees that might cost $20 or more in fine dining venues but each taste here is five dollars or less. This event design allows visitors and participants to stroll the Great Plaza at Penn’s Landing while sampling delicious food and learning more about what makes Philadelphia food famous. Plus, each day of the event will be accompanied by exciting live stage entertainment.
A Taste of Philadelphia will highlight Philadelphia’s reputation as a restaurant city for three days. Last season featured crabcakes, Asian fusion, Southern cuisine, and of course cheesesteaks from some of Philadelphia’s most famous restaurants. There will be a variety of incredible edibles to tease your palate including beverages, ethnic specialties, and an array of grilled delights will be available, along with summertime standards like burgers and fries.
Sunoco Welcome America! is a multi-day festival that celebrates America’s birthday in America’s birthplace and is produced by Welcome America, Inc. For more information, please visit www.welcomeamerica.com

During the day, enjoy kid-friendly activities, games and face painting, chair massages, classical and dance performances.
When the sun sets, that's when the party really starts! Get down with indie bands, singer-songwriters, club dancing and even a drag show.
Finally, as the sun rises, bang in the new day with an enormous drum circle, BYOD (bring your own drum)!
That is what Joel Hodgson says about the show:
Cinematic Titanic Live is the theatrical version of movie riffing-- the comedic art form we created over twenty years ago in the form of Mystery Science Theater 3000. Performed in a theater, the five members of the cast take the stage and riff on a feature film in front of a live audience.
Most of our engagements last the weekend, where we perform a different film on both Friday and Saturday nights, hence, our current tour is titled "Two Nights Two Movies".

Off-Broadway's musical hit! Winner of 4 Drama Desk Awards for Best Musical Revue!
For many years Forbidden Broadway has been one of New York theater's greatest pleasures: satirizing musicals with a lot of good-natured ribbing. If you've never had the chance to see it - the Walnut's new production of Forbidden Broadway's Greatest Hits is guaranteed to make you laugh. It's as smart as it is funny, and the jokes are served up with zest by a talented cast.
You will laugh with some of your favorite shows: Annie ("I'm 30 Years Old, Tomorrow"), Hairspray ("You Can't Stop the Camp"), West Side Story ("Chita/Rita America"), A Chorus Line ("What I Did For Laughs"), Les Misérables ("On My Phone") and more. The more you know about Broadway, of course, the more you'll enjoy the show. It's the greatest, it's the funniest and it's the hottest celebration in town!
Forbidden Broadway's Greatest Hits runs through June 28, 2009 at the Walnut Street Theatre Independence Studio on 3, 825 Walnut Street, Philadelphia. Tickets are $30, and are available by calling the box office at 215-574-3550, online at www.walnutstreettheatre.org or www.ticketmaster.com, or by visiting the box office.
In addition, “Butterflies!” features:
- computer stations with interactive games about butterfly habitats, body parts, responses to global warming and general trivia
- a chamber of live pupae from which you may see butterflies emerging (if you're there at the right time!)
- a live animal kiosk comparing different kinds of metamorphosis in insects and frogs.
- Some will be flying. (These are often the easiest to spot.)
- Some will be eating at food stations. (These are good places to get close to the butterflies.)
- Some will be resting on plants. (Butterflies usually rest with their wings pointing up so you'll be looking at the undersides of the wings. This side of the wing is often less colorful and may even be camouflaged.)
- Some will be resting on the walls or the ceiling.
- Watch out! Some will be resting on the floor. Watch your step!
There will be a $2 fee to enter “Butterflies!” in addition to museum admission. Members enter free.
