“The Oval” is Back With Outdoor Movies, Beer Garden, Live Music, Family Activities & More!
If you missed it last year, no problem because “The Oval” is back for the 2017 season. Located at the foot of the Art Museum, The Oval (Eakins Oval-2451 Benjamin Franklin Parkway) is a clash of art, music, food, and family activities rolled-up into one. It’s essentially the west side of Broad St.’s answer to Spruce Street Harbor Park.
The Oval 2017 season kicks-off July 20th from 5-10 pm. This year the events and agenda is pretty much the same. Expect a beer garden, a rotation of food trucks & vendors, live music and DJs, outdoor movies as well as an assortment of family friendly activities. Not to mention The Oval will be showcasing huge art installations to add to the aesthetics. In short it’s a dope place to hang out with friends, a date, as well as spend quality family time. The Oval hours for this season are Wednesday – Sunday from 11:00 AM – 11:00 PM Below are the upcoming events happening at The Oval.
