Summerfest

Located at Penn’s Landing, this warm-weather edition of Winterfest provides exciting opportunities for everyone to enjoy the waterfront and celebrate summer. The central feature is the roller rink, designed to engage all ages. It includes a central pergola that provides a place to rest and relax. Planted with native species and strung with lights and vintage skates it also provides a great photo opportunity. Summerfest is also a natural playscape, connecting Philadelphians to unstructured play. Clusters of Birches, Pines, and Oaks create nooks and a sense of wonder. Large industrial trees are scattered throughout seamlessly blending natural and industrial materials, a nod to the history of the Delaware as a working river. They generate a light mist every five minutes cooling the space and adding an element of surprise. Piles of boulders and tree trunks provide different sensory textures; their various angles and heights encourage children to climb and test their abilities.
