'There is no greater place to celebrate the fourth of joy than here in Philadelphia right at Independence Hall,' said Gov. Josh Shapiro.
"There is no greater place to celebrate the fourth of joy than here in Philadelphia right at Independence Hall," said Gov. Josh Shapiro.Even before the clock struck noon on Tuesday, there had already been a slew of activities in Philadelphia to celebrate Independence Day. They all happened under the watchful eye of police and security officials who want to make sure that this year's festivities stay safe.
"We thought what better way to spend the fourth of them to come to the home of it all," said Steve Kern of Harrisburg as he watched the program with his family."There is no greater place to celebrate the fourth of joy than here in Philadelphia right at Independence Hall," said Gov. Josh Shapiro as he spoke to the crowd of hundreds including kids like Daniell Crawford who was excited for the day full of festivities.
An even larger-scale production is the Wawa Welcome America concert and fireworks show along the Ben Franklin Parkway. It requires a lot of coordination and security as police look to prevent a repeat of last year's July 4th shooting chaos when falling bullets grazed two police officers. This year, the concert area has been fenced in, so the only entry point for the concert is at Logan Circle, which is at 19th and Ben Franklin Parkway. Grammy-award-winning hip-hop artist, actor and philanthropist Ludacris is scheduled to perform at 7:40 p.m. Grammy-award-winning singer and author Demi Lovato is scheduled to perform at 8:30. The fireworks display starts at 9:40 p.m
