If you missed it last year, no problem because “The Oval” is back for the 2017 season. Â Located at the foot of the Art Museum, The Oval (Eakins Oval-2451 Benjamin Franklin Parkway)Â is a clash of art, music, food, and family activities rolled-up into one. Â 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. Â Not to mention The Oval will be showcasing huge art installations to add to the aesthetics. Â 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 PMÂ Â Below are the upcoming events happening at The Oval.
