The City of Brotherly Love and Sisterly Affection is set to welcome an influx of visitors this weekend, with a variety of events taking place at the Sports Complex. From sports practices to star-studded concerts, Philadelphia is buzzing with activity.
Among the highlights is the Eagles’ annual Public Practice at Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday. Eagles fans have eagerly awaited this opportunity since February, and the sold-out event is sure to be a huge draw. Gates for the practice open at 4 p.m., but fans are encouraged to arrive early or use public transportation due to anticipated traffic congestion. Parking is free until 6 p.m., after which fees will increase to $40.
Autograph opportunities with Eagles alumni and select players will be available post-practice, and fans can also shop at the Eagles Autism Foundation Yard Sale for memorabilia.
However, attendees aren’t the only ones facing logistical challenges. Simultaneously, Chris Brown is set to perform at Citizens Bank Park—just a few blocks away—on Sunday as part of his Breezy Bowl XX World Tour. With the concert kicking off at 7 p.m., visitors planning to attend both events may experience scheduling conflicts, especially since the Eagles’ practice starts an hour prior. Tickets for the concert begin at $226.
Meanwhile, fans of the Jonas Brothers will have their own festivities as the band launches its JONAS20: Greetings From Your Hometown tour at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on Sunday. The show starts at 7:30 p.m. and celebrates the group’s 20th anniversary, marking another point of interest for regional music lovers. Following their performance in New Jersey, the Jonas Brothers are scheduled to appear at the Freedom Mortgage Pavilion in Camden on August 14, with tickets starting at $43.
Comedian Nate Bargatze brings his lighthearted humor to the Wells Fargo Center on Friday as part of his Big Dumb Eyes World Tour. With high demand leading to an additional show, fans can catch Bargatze at either of the two performances scheduled for 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. on Friday. Family-friendly laughs await, with tickets starting at $61.
On Saturday, Katy Perry will grace the stage at the Wells Fargo Center, performing songs from her latest album, “143.” Doors for her show open at 6 p.m., with the performance beginning at 7 p.m. Fans can find tickets ranging from $54 to over $300 for what promises to be a memorable pop concert experience.
For those in search of a more intimate setting, comedian Godfrey will showcase his blend of humor with four performances at Punch Line Philly on Friday and Saturday. Ticket prices for general admission stand at $43.
Additionally, Bill Bellamy will deliver his comedic talents at City Winery Philadelphia over the weekend with two shows each on Saturday and Sunday. With prices ranging from $45 to $85, Saturday’s performances take place at both 6 p.m. and 9:30 p.m., with Sunday’s scheduling at 5 p.m. and 8:30 p.m.
R&B enthusiasts can catch Trey Songz and Jeremih at The Dell Music Center on Saturday, promising a night filled with nostalgic hits.
Alongside these entertainment options, Hersheypark is currently celebrating S’mores Week, inviting visitors to indulge in creative s’mores recipes while enjoying the rides and attractions at Pennsylvania’s largest amusement park. Tickets to Hersheypark are priced starting at $54.
