From the 2012 Broad Street Run to the Chestnut Hill Home & Garden Festival, plus Philadelphia teams in the playoffs and First Friday, this weekend is fun-filled. (Photos courtesy, clockwise from top left: Chestnut Hill, Broad Street Run, M. Kennedy for GPTMC, Sixers)

If ever there was a weekend to be in Philadelphia, this is it (actually, we could probably say that about most weekends).
