Some planning

Big crowds in West Philly; take the Market-Frankford Line to 52nd Street or SEPTA bus 52 or 21 rather than driving. Point the kids at the Youth Pavilion, and bring water and sun cover.

What to know

Our experience

Philly's biggest Juneteenth celebration takes over West Philadelphia on Sunday. The parade steps off at 12:30 from Highmark Mann and rolls down 52nd Street to Malcolm X Park, more than 2,000 marchers and 20 floats, with DJ Jazzy Jeff as grand marshal. At the park there is a Youth Pavilion built for kids, with a moon bounce, a game truck, an inflatable slide, face painting, and a magician, plus a rolling car museum and food trucks. It is free, and it is big, so take the El to 52nd Street rather than driving.
