The World Cup Party Doesn’t Stop Here: Philly’s Free PECO Multicultural Series Runs All Summer Long
Philly has spent the summer welcoming the world — and just because the final whistle blows doesn’t mean the global party has to end. The PECO Multicultural Series is back, bringing free cultural festivals to the waterfront from now through November, celebrating the very same diversity that made Philly’s World Cup moment so electric.
From the Great Plaza at Penn’s Landing to Cherry Street Pier and Race Street Pier, the series is a reminder that Philadelphia’s international spirit isn’t just a tournament phenomenon — it’s woven into the fabric of this city year-round. Authentic cuisine, live entertainment, music, and cultural celebration from across the globe are all on the menu, and every single event is free and open to the public.
Here’s what’s still to come:

Philadelphia proved this summer that it knows how to celebrate the world — and the PECO Multicultural Series is proof that the celebration never really stops.
All events are free. No ticket required. Just show up and enjoy.
