The St. Patrick's Day Parade, Easter Eggs, and a Real Farm — Your Philly Weekend
After this amazing stretch of warm weather, the weekend dips back to the 50s. A bummer, but at least there's no shortage of stuff to do — a parade, an egg hunt, a working farm, and a storytime for the littles.
Big energy
The Philadelphia St. Patrick's Day Parade
Sunday · 11 AM
Market Street (16th to 5th) · Center City · · All ages
🟡Free · Dress in green · Street parking tough on parade day — take SEPTA or park a few blocks off Market
The Philly St. Patrick's Day Parade runs down Market Street from 16th to 5th starting at 11 AM — marching bands, pipe bands, the whole thing. It's one of those city events that's been going forever but somehow flies under the radar if you don't have it on your calendar. Grab a spot anywhere along Market — it's free and you don't need to sign up for anything.

Craft Hall Pi Day Pizza Party
Craft Hall · North Philadelphia · 1–5 PM Sunday
After the parade, walk to Craft Hall for their post-parade party. For $10 your kid gets a pizza kit — crust, sauce, cheese, toppings — builds it at the table, and the kitchen bakes it and brings it back hot. Free coloring sheets and crafts too, plus an off-leash dog park if you brought the whole crew.
