Philadelphia isn’t shy when it comes to summer music festivals. And there’s no better way to enjoy a great weekend of music than out by the waterfront.

The WXPN’s 19th Annual XPoNential Music Festival returns on July 20-22 bigger and better than before.

This year’s festival will feature two different venues: Wiggins Park and the Susquehanna Bank Center (SBC) with more than 30 artists on four different stages on the Camden Waterfront.

Bring the whole family, make a picnic and enjoy the fresh air while listening to your favorite artists perform live.

Check out our guide to the XPoNential Music Festival below to make the most out of this music-filled weekend.
