Musikfest, Phillies alumni weekend, Lord Huron, 2nd Street Festival: Things to do in Philly this weekend
The weekend is here, and Philadelphia is more than ready for it! From Phillies alumni celebrations in South Philly to a Grammy Award-winning artist performing down in South Jersey, there's something on the docket for everyone this weekend. Musikfest 2025 is also officially underway in Bethlehem, as is BlackStar Film Festival in the City of Brotherly Love. That's just a teaser for an incredibly vibrant weekend in the Philadelphia region. Here's what else is going on. A sure sign of summer is back in the Lehigh Valley — it's Musikfest 2025! This 10-day festival in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, is nothing short of action-packed, featuring performances by A-list headlining acts like country musicians Riley Green and Darius Rucker, as well as iconic bands like Third Eye Blind and The Black Keys. The festival hosts over 500 free performances for the public across 15 stages, plus 11 ticketed headliner shows. Beyond the music, this summer scene is a celebration of the arts, food and creativity. The festival kicked off on Thursday night with a plethora of performances, including a set by Megan Moroney. Friday will be headlined by Riley Green, Saturday by The Avett Brothers, and Sunday by Darius Rucker. A full schedule for the festival is available online. A big weekend is here for the Phillies: a celebration of a core member of their golden era, the GM who helped build the team's 2008 World Series team, honoring Hall of Fame slugger Dick Allen, a premier pitching matchup and Sunday Night Baseball. The Phillies will kick off alumni weekend Friday night by inducting Jimmy Rollins and Ed Wade into the team's Wall of Fame. The Phils expect 54 alumni to be in town this weekend for their series against the Detroit Tigers. Friday could also be the first game fans get to see new closer Jhoan Duran and outfielder Harrison Bader in a Phillies uniform. Before Saturday's game, the Phillies will have an on-field presentation celebrating Allen's induction into the Hall of Fame. Saturday also features one of the most intriguing pitching matchups in baseball: Zack Wheeler (9-4, 2.56) vs. Tarik Skubal (10-3, 2.09). The Phils close out the three-game series with a Sunday Night Baseball appearance. Tickets are available on the Phillies' website and third-party sites like StubHub and SeatGeek. If you speak fluent subtitles or smell popcorn in your dreams, this one's for you. The 14th annual BlackStar Film Festival, with a "one of a kind celebration of Black, Brown and Indigenous filmmaking," is back for another year this weekend. The festival will take place in person and virtually through Sunday at various theaters, including the Kimmel Center, the Wilma Theater and the Suzanne Roberts Theatre. Tickets for an in-person bundle are $80. The virtual bundle is $30. There is also an all-access pass for $350 and a virtual pass for $150. It's showtime at the Academy of Music this weekend. Beat the heat at the nation's oldest opera house this weekend to see "Beetlejuice." This Broadway hit brings Tim Burton's cult classic to life and will have you laughing your way into the afterlife. The show's final performances run Friday through Sunday with showtimes running from 1 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Tickets start at $36. This is your last chance to catch the ghost with the most — for now. Peaches might make your throat a little itchy, but let's be honest, we're all ignoring that for a great time this weekend (and another slice of peach cobbler). Get ready for a weekend full of sweet summer fun during the Peach Festival at Peddler's Village in New Hope. Packed with peachy treats, live music and beautiful strolls from Saturday and Sunday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Shops will stay open until 8 p.m. Saturday. Admission and parking are free. Some activities are pay-as-you-go, including Throwhouse Axe Throwing, a mobile escape room, face painting, and more. Bring your friends, your family, or just your peach-loving self and make it a weekend to remember. Indie rock band Lord Huron is bringing the summer night feels to The Mann in West Philly this Friday. Soul singer Lee Fields will join Lord Huron as the group brings their latest album, "The Cosmic Selector Vol. 1," to the City of Brotherly Love. Doors to the show open at 6 p.m., showtime is set for 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Tickets to see the new album on tour start at $62. Ashanti, a woman wearing many hats, including being a new mom, will be in our area this weekend.

The Glen Cove, Long Island, New Yorker made Billboard history by having her first three chart entries land in the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 at the same time, according to the Ocean Casino Resort website. Tickets range from $56 to $133. Prices can change. The show starts at 9 p.m. and the doors open at 8 p.m. Another New Yorker, DJ Skribble, is also on the lineup. Oh, oh, oh-oh, oh — Nickelodeon fans are sure to know where we're going with this one. Those opening words are the theme song to this weekend because boy band Big Time Rush is coming to town! BTR will take the stage at The Mann on Saturday night and be joined by none other than Stephen Kramer Glickman, AKA Gustavo Rocque, and Katelyn Tarver, who played Jo Taylor, Kendall Schmidt's girlfriend. The band's last album dropped in 2023, but they've recently released a new single, "I Want You Here All The Time." Big Time Rush is set to play every song from every episode of their former Nickelodeon television show, "Big Time Rush." Fans can get in the spirit by listening to the 2025 IRL Tour Setlist.

The rock band will be performing at the TD Pavilion at The Mann on Sunday, rain or shine. Formed by John Rzeznik and Robby Takac in Buffalo, New York, in 1986, Goo Goo Dolls have quietly broken records, contributed a string of staples to the American songbook, connected to millions of fans, and indelibly impacted popular music for three-plus decades, according to The Mann website. Tickets range from $49 to $244. The show is expected to start at 7:30 p.m. and doors open at 6 p.m. Ginuwine, Grammy-nominated singer and songwriter, will be in the Fishtown area this weekend.

Featured pricing is subject to change. The Red Headed Stranger has quite an Independence Day planned this year. On Friday, July 4, Willie Nelson is headlining his annual '4th of July Picnic.' This year, the celebration is set to take place at Austin, TX's Germania Insurance Amphitheater. He'll be joined by special guests Bob Dylan, The Avett Brothers, The Mavericks, Asleep at the Wheel and Tami Neilson. Festivities begin at 3:30 p.m. 'I'm 92-years-old and I'll be there so you have no excuse,' Nelson said in a statement. 'I look forward to bringing back my annual 4th of July Picnic to the city I love and sharing this special event with all my Austin fans.' Last July 4, Set List FM reports the 'On The Road Again' singer performed a whopping 22 songs in New Jersey. Highlights included 'Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys,' 'Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die' and his Hank Williams 'I Saw The Light' cover. Pretty impressive for someone born in 1933. 'I'm not worried about [my health],' Nelson told the Associated Press. 'I don't feel bad. I don't hurt anywhere. I don't have any reason to worry about dying. But I don't know anybody who's lived forever.'
