On March 10th, don't be surprised if you see a leprechaun NOT at the end of a rainbow, but marching down JFK Blvd! Check out Philly's St. Patrick's Day parade where there will be food, music, floats, and lots of dancing. Just remember to wear green!

March 10 from 11:15-3pm

Philadelphia Flower Show

Speaking of green, you definitely don't need a green thumb to enjoy this Philly tradition. Stop by the flower show to see some of the world's coolest floral decor as they celebrate this year's theme, "Flower Power" in honor of Woodstock's 50th anniversary. It's the perfect opportunity to buy a new succulent (and replace the last one you forgot to water)!

March 2-10

Tickets: $21 with student ID
