“We are so excited and honored to partner with Wawa Welcome America this year as the official pre-party for the Independence Mall performances,” said Katelyn Martin, The Bourse Marketplace General Manager. “The performances don’t start until 7 pm each night, so we encourage visitors AND locals to join us before each show for a frozen lemonade, beer, or mocktail while perusing some gifts, crafts and wares from some really awesome local small businesses and artists.”
The festivities will kick off on Friday, June 24 from 4-9 pm with a performance from Rev. R2 and Da’ Crew at 5 pm on 5th Street between Market and Chestnut Streets.
