Things To Do

Welcome to Philadelphia in 2026!! We’re so excited to celebrate our wedding in Philadelphia during America's semiquincentennial!!! 2026 marks 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence. As the birthplace of the United States, Philly will be at the center of the country’s anniversary celebrations, with special exhibits and year-long programming highlighting the city’s role in American history. Beyond the big anniversary, Philadelphia is a walkable, lively city with great museums, food, and neighborhoods.

This compact area holds many of the sites tied to 1776 and the founding era: Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, and a cluster of smaller parks, churches, and museums.
