It’s summertime and the livin’ is easy. We love Philadelphia all year round, but there is something special about summer in the city: pop-up beer gardens, special events, outdoor meals, and unforgettable summer sunsets. Read on to find out 10 reasons to love summers in Philadelphia.
1.) Pop-up Beer Gardens: This summer, one of our favorite pop-up beer gardens is Parks on Tap. Beer, cornhole, and nature–what more could you ask for?

2.) Center City SIPS and Outdoor Summer Happy Hours:
