This Weekend in Philadelphia: World Cup Watch Parties, Pride Bingo, and Pilates on the Art Museum Steps
Published June 25, 2026
There are 59 events on the Philadelphia calendar this weekend, Friday June 26 through Sunday June 28, with 26 of them free. The World Cup has the city's attention — Kite & Key turns over every screen to the matches starting Friday morning, and East Passyunk runs the second of its World Cup block parties on Saturday afternoon — and it lands on the closing weekend of Pride, with a Rainbow Run, a Pilates with Pride session, and a Queer Joy wand-making workshop on the books. The seven picks below run Friday night through Sunday morning, with a free/ticketed mix.
