Weekend Picks; Gorgeous Weather Alert: Father’s Day, Bloomsday Festival At The Rosenbach, Movie Screening On Race Street Pier, Outdoor Dining And More

Two words for this weekend: get outside! Among other things, It's the summer of the beer garden and beer garden weather really doesn't get any better than this weekend's forecast, so to any of the other dozens of spots around the city that offer picture-perfect outdoor dining, drinking and hanging out.
