Time of Year to Visit Philadelphia
Fall and winter offer great opportunities for active vacations filled with outdoor activities. Temperatures tend to remain comfortable while hotel room rates remain affordable - perfect conditions if you love sports! January offers ample chances to catch both Philadelphia 76ers and Flyers games live!
As temperatures shift from the mid to high 40s to low 60s in springtime, outdoor markets, and street festivals return to Philadelphia along its riverfront. High school and college sports fans can cheer their favorite athletes during events like Penn Relays in late April or the ODUNDE Festival from June 4-11th, two of the nation's most prominent African-American street festivals.
Summer temperatures reach an oppressively hot 84degF and attract large numbers of visitors, but if you want to escape this heat and crowds, September or October offer more comfortable 65degF temperatures with vivid fall colors adorning the streets.
