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.

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.

SUMMARY:Cadence in the Clouds
DESCRIPTION:Cadence in the Clouds is an industry night that celebrates the dreamers in Philadelphia; the artists\, the creatives\, the entrepreneurs\, and the supporters of the arts. It is meant to show Philly artists that they don’t need to move out of the city to have a thriving career. Philly is a city rich in history\, and they should be a part of it given the necessary resources and connections. We aim to create the industry night that puts all of those people in one room\, while using all local Philadelphia businesses and artists\, to make a night where people connect and collaborate through the language of music. While patrons get to enjoy a live concert featuring music from DJ Bear One\, A.Rob\, and Sahlii\, their ticket also comes with artist bios\, raffles for a studio session and a photography/music video shoot\, live art\, complimentary snacks and sweets\, and so much more. \nThis particular concert is all about celebrating artists who are courageous enough to use their music and their art to make a change and stand up to what is going on in the world. It’s meant to show that while some pay punish you for speaking up\, we will highlight you\, putting you on our stage to amplify your voice. Every artist and business who is taking part has used their platform as a release\, and as a means to protest everything happening in the world. By purchasing tickets or any of the art that will be at the event\, you are directly putting money into the pockets of Black and Brown artists.
