Festivities began June 28 and continue through Sunday, but the high point is July 4. Expect an ice cream festival, a ceremonial ringing of the Liberty Bell, a parade, and a concert by John Legend—followed by fireworks over the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The celebration concludes with the Taste of Philadelphia food festival, a chance to sample the best local cuisine.
Thinking of photographing some of those fireworks? See our five easy steps to spectacular photos.

Mmmmmm, ice cream festival!
On the other hand, I might just stay home in sweaty DC and catch some of the Bhutanese music at the Smithsonian Folklife Festival.
