SUMMARY:Delaware River Festival
DESCRIPTION:PRESS RELEASE \nFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Kate Layton\nPhone: (302) 255-6878\nAug. 26\, 2026 E-mail: klayton@delawareestuary.org \nSights and sounds: \nSee photos from the 2025 Delaware River Festival on our Flickr Page \nFind more information on the official event website at www.delawareriverfest.org \nMake Sept. 26 a Day to Remember\nJoin us for a FREE day of family fun at the annual Delaware River Festival \nWILMINGTON — Mark your calendar for Saturday\, Sept. 26 at the annual Delaware River Festival — a day of FREE family fun you will surely remember. Ride a swan boat\, see exotic birds up close\, tour a historic ship\, and enjoy great views of the river from a ferry boat. \nJoin us from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Penn’s Landing in Philadelphia and Wiggins Park in Camden for exciting activities\, engaging exhibits\, and plenty of opportunities to connect with the majestic Delaware River. \nThe river is at the heart of the festival\, so we’ll have free water-based interactive activities throughout the day\, including swan boat rides from Wheel Fun Rentals. The RiverLink Ferry will run throughout the festival\, carrying you and your crew between both sides while you take in spectacular views of battleships\, nature\, the sparkling river\, and the Philly and Camden skylines. You can also step aboard the Gazela Primerio\, a turn-of-the-century Portuguese fishing ship for deck tours and on-board programming. \nPrefer to stay on land? We’ve got you. Face painting\, games\, and crafts will be available throughout the day. Interactive environmental exhibits from local organizations will offer hands-on fun and education. A scavenger hunt will encourage kids of all ages to explore and engage with exhibitors in the many offerings on both sides of the river\, with the chance to win a prize! \nTake wing with two live bird shows from Animal Behavior & Conservation Connections. Admission to the Independence Seaport Museum building will be free all day\, but please note that the Olympia and the Becuna\, the museum’s two historic ships\, will still require the purchase of tickets to visit. \n“Find your center through Tai Chi. The Delaware River Waterfront Corporation will offer free Tai Chi lessons on the day of the festival at Spruce Street Harbor Park at 11:00 a.m.\, along with an exhibit of Austen Camille Weymueller’s “Here\, Twice a Day\, We Are Held by the Ocean” at The Quay at Penn’s Landing. This special installation combines sculpture and augmented reality animation to connect visitors with the rhythms of the Delaware River. The installation is free and open to the public. All ages are welcome.” \nStay hydrated! The Philadelphia Water Department’s and New Jersey American will have free\, cold\, refreshing tap water. Bring your reusable water bottle. \nCome out for this incredible event that brings the community together to celebrate the beauty and vitality of the Delaware River. Mark your calendars\, gather your family and friends\, and join us for a free day of joy\, learning\, and connection! The festival also serves as a fitting finale to National Estuaries Week\, a nationwide celebration of the bays and rivers where fresh water meets the sea. \nDue to ongoing construction on the Delaware Riverfront at Penn’s Landing\, we recommend that visitors carpool or use public transit when traveling to the festival. Limited parking is available along the Philadelphia waterfront. Visitors can also park in Camden near Wiggins Park or the Adventure Aquarium and take the RiverLink Ferry to visit Penn’s Landing. \nAgain\, all activities are available for free from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday\, Sept. 26\, and while supplies last. Stay up-to-date through the festival’s official website\, www.DelawareRiverFest.org\, and on social media by following the handle @DelRivFest. \nThe Partnership for the Delaware Estuary\, Philadelphia Water Department\, the Center for Aquatic Sciences\, and the Independence Seaport Museum have partnered to plan this magical day along the river. Additional thanks to New Jersey American Water and Camden County for their support. \nPartnership for the Delaware Estuary\, Inc. received support from Philadelphia Water Department as well as the Environmental Protection Agency under an Assistance Agreement to support this work. \nThis project is also financed in part by a Federal Coastal Zone Management Grant provided by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection with funds provided by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Additional funding support has been provided by Liberty Coca-Cola Beverages. \nThe Partnership for the Delaware Estuary is committed to providing equal access to information about its programs\, including document translation services for all individuals. Please contact byerger@delawareestuary.org to request PDE’s free access services.

SUMMARY:Profs & Pints Philadelphia: Travel like an Anthropologist
DESCRIPTION:Profs and Pints Philadelphia presents: “Travel like an Anthropologist\,” an exploration of the cultural complexities of tourism and a guide to ensuring your visits to other places benefit all involved\, with Melissa A. Stevens\, principal at CultureSnap Consulting and adjunct professor of cultural anthropology at the University of Delaware. \nMark Twain once famously remarked that “travel is fatal to prejudice\, bigotry\, and narrow-mindedness.” Indeed\, it can open our minds to new ideas and possibilities\, positively contribute to local communities\, and help us establish lasting relationships with people across the world. \nAt the same time\, however\, our travels can be harmful to the people and places we visit and to our world as a whole. We can end up exploiting vulnerable populations\, worsening global and local inequalities\, accelerating climate change\, and forever altering the places and cultures that we visit. \nHow are responsible tourists supposed to navigate these contradictions without ruining their vacation? \nExplore the cultural complexities of what it means to travel\, and find ways to ensure your conscience rests easy after full travel days\, with the help of cultural anthropologist Melissa Stevens. \nShe’ll start by discussing how her own field has not always been a positive force in other parts of the world\, and historically has committed some of the same sins as the tourism marketing industry when it comes to shaping Western perceptions of Non-Western cultures. Popular anthropologists such as Margaret Mead and Napoleon Chagnon contributed to the “exotification” and exploitation of indigenous peoples and local communities in ways that cast a shadow on their work. \nIn confronting the ethical implications of its early history\, anthropology developed a perspective known as “cultural relativism\,” which called upon anthropologists to build awareness of their own cultural assumptions as a means to engage more ethically and responsibly with the people and places they visited. Anyone\, including tourists\, can learn to have a culturally relativist mindset in their travels. \nDr. Stevens will discuss how anthropologists use cultural relativism to gain a deeper understanding of people and places. She’ll also talk about how anthropologists look at tourism through a cultural lens\, diving into the politics of representation\, of performance\, and of authenticity\, and also examining gendered experiences of tourism. We’ll take a tour through the history of travel\, from early pilgrims to digital nomads\, and we’ll explore different types of tourism\, including cultural tourism\, ecotourism\, sex and romance tourism\, dark tourism\, backpacking\, and “voluntourism.” \nWe’ll consider the environmental and cultural impacts of tourism on tourist destinations. Drawing from her experiences conducting ethnographic research on cultural and sustainable tourism in Tanzania and Vietnam\, Dr. Stevens will share immersive stories about what she learned in researching how tourism was perceived and experienced by the people who live with it. \nWhat you learn at her talk will help ensure that you keep learning every time you pack your bags. (Advance tickets: $13.50 plus processing fees. Doors: $17\, or $15 with a student ID. Guests are welcome to arrive any time after 5:30. Talk starts at 6:30.) \nImage by Canva.
