Your Guide to August 2026 in Philly

While some Philadelphians are still down the shore this summer, there’s plenty of fun events happening in the city in August. We recommend attending the 15th annual Black Star Film Fest, Ennoble Care Philly Open, and The Philadelphia Cycling Classic. In this episode, you’ll also hear about a pierogi fest in Port Richmond, bug walk along the Parkway, and an “ecstatic dance party” in Germantown. And if you need more recommendations, check out our picks for the city’s best vinyl listening rooms, local hardware stores for your summer DIY projects, and rooftop bars.    For even more tips on how to make the most of August in Philly, check out our newsletter, which has Philly news & events in your inbox every weekday morning.
