Revolutionary Germantown Festival (Philadelphia)
What makes this festival different from other food and drink related events in Philadelphia is the reenactment of the Battle of Germantown, which changed the town forever. It reenacts the tough and hard battle fought in Philadelphia that helped shape the country so, there is loads for the kids to learn here as well. It would be best if guests had their own Philadelphia charter bus rental service if visiting in a large group with family and friends; nevertheless, those who are without such transportation can make use of the escorted charter buses provided by the event organizers or simply make use of the walking tours where the guides will show you where and what happened on that fateful day. The one thing that you would have to expect is...crowd...yes, lots of people, limited parking spaces but loads of fun learning about things you never thought you would have a hands-on learning experience about. What is strongly recommended for visitors who are geared for some fun is the early American toys at Upsala. Upsala is a mansion built on Mount Airy back in 1798 by a John Johnson who is also the builder of another historically-significant house nearby, the John Johnson House. The man was a passionate resident of Germantown despite his upbringing as an Quaker. The house is also an encampment site for the Continental Army during the war, hence, its significant role during the festival. With a festival like this, where lives are lost and wars are won, the visit would completely miss the point if one does not pay respect to the soldiers who were sacrificed during the fight and frankly speaking, it is not as somber as one would have thought. The sites to visit to pay respect to the soldiers would be at Concord School and Upper Burying Ground. Anyhow, the highlight of the festival is always the famous reenactment of the way which starts sharp at noon and ends three hours later. Visitors often end up feeling encouraged, motivated, touched and had a lot of fun at the same time. Go Vertical (Philadelphia)
A Fun-Filled Day Out In Philly
You can find lots of the un-touristy things to do on South Street where things are known and said to be on the quaint side. Pay special attention to the stuff on sale whenever you walk past those shops because some of the items are really quite unusual (not to be found anywhere else in the country) and make fantastic souvenirs for those back home. The main reason for the availability of these shops and outlets is because many Asian, Italian, Irish and Mexican people call this corner of Philadelphia home. In combination with the local taste of things, some things found here are funky and have their own feel. For example, you would have Irish pubs sitting ride beside a Chinese-inspired art gallery and then a Philippines furniture shop could be right around the corner while your senses are being teased by scents of Italian food right in front of you. A place like Isaish Zagar's Magic Gardens is a must if you you like quaint objects. There are wheels collections for sale as well as ceramic bottles and other collection like decorative items and bottles. It is like a very unique collections museum and is most definitely worth a quick stop.
