Who does Fourth of July bigger than the birthplace of the nation?

The correct answer is no one.

Look no further than Wawa Welcome America, the largest Independence Day celebration in the nation (and one of the largest free festivals in the country — period).

Running this year from June 19 to July 4, 2025, the massive, citywide festival showcases America’s birthplace and commemorates both Juneteenth and the Fourth of July as holidays that together create a more complete picture of freedom and liberty in our nation.

Philly residents and visitors alike can expect dozens of free and festive events, including concerts, free museum days, community programs, parades, fireworks and more during the 16-day celebration.

All of the fun culminates on the Fourth of July with an epic free concert, featuring Grammy Award-winning superstars Jazmine Sullivan and LL Cool J, on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway and a dazzling fireworks display over the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
