Every Philadelphia summer eventually turns into a waterfront summer.

The very second the weather breaks, people start migrating east like they’re being summoned. The Delaware River stretch has become one of the easiest places in the city to build an entire night around without the need to travel. You can bounce between beer gardens, giant decks, cocktail spots, outdoor hangouts, and bars to your heart’s content.If you’re anything like the masses, suddenly everyone wants a frozen drink outside with a view of the Benjamin Franklin Bridge instead of standing shoulder-to-shoulder in a dark room pretending it’s still January.

Every so often, a new bar opens in Philadelphia and you can immediately tell it is about to become part of the regular rotation. Not in a forced, overhyped way, but more in that way where it suddenly starts showing up everywhere. Someone drops it in the group chat. You see it on Instagram stories two weekends in a row, and just like that, it is on your list.

The PECO Multicultural Series is back this weekend! For the uninitiated, these are a series of outdoor festivals showcasing cultural traditions from around the world. This time, it's bringing a whirlwind of colors, flavors, and sounds to your Saturday and Sunday plans. No need to hop on a plane for a whirlwind world tour—just make your way to Penn's Landing this weekend. Why settle for one festival when you can have two?
