Description
The march moves up the Benjamin Franklin Parkway and finishes just past the Philadelphia Museum of Art at Eakins Oval, transitioning into an afternoon gathering built around remembrance, community, and local flavor. Onstage sets include live music from Sanovia and Ami Yares, while the surrounding grounds host an Evil Genius beer garden and stalls serving everything from Deke’s BBQ and Beck’s Cajun to Mozzarepas and funnel cake. For those not lining the Parkway route, the procession is also televised on Channel 6.
