Taste of Philadelphia, June 26-28, at Penn's Landing

In most cities, Independence Day demands just a one-day celebration. Philadelphia believes that it takes at least a week of parties to sufficiently fete the birth of our country. So, despite the fact that the 4th of July is still a week away, Sunoco Welcome America kicks off this Friday evening at 5 p.m. with the Taste of Philadelphia down at Penn’s Landing.

Nearly 20 restaurants will be set up just off Columbus Blvd. at Walnut Street, selling samples of their signature dishes to all. Admission to the Taste is free, you buy your nibbles at each individual tent using tickets that will be available for purchase at various locations around the grounds.

Some of the restaurants who will be serving up delicious tidbits include:

• Cuba Libre
• Jamaican Jerk Hut
• Dave and Buster’s
• Lucky Strikes Lanes
• Joe Pesce
• Steaks on South

Friday, June 26th, 5 p.m. to 8 p.m
Saturday, June 27th, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
