About Us

Welcome America! is Philadelphia’s 4th of July celebration where for ten days we showcase all that America’s birthplace has to offer. Our new title sponsor, Wawa Inc., has joined the festival, now named Wawa Welcome America!

Though the festival name has changed, visitors can look forward to the great food, history, entertainment and fun they have come to expect from this incredibly Philadelphia celebration of the birth of our nation. There is something special for residents, visitors, teens, grandparents and everyone in between.

While most are familiar with our 4th of July concert and its place as the “Largest Free Concert in America”, there is an entire week of other activities to enjoy. This year we’re especially thrilled to offer not one, not two, but three fireworks shows that will light up Philadelphia’s night skies.
