Philly's Winter Wonderland: What to Do This Weekend
Subzero wind chills are expected, but that won't stop Philadelphians from braving the cold for a day of fun and entertainment. The city has an array of events lined up for this weekend.
One event that promises to be particularly festive is the Mummers String Band Spectacular at Lincoln Financial Field on Saturday, January 31st. The show features 14 bands performing their mini musicals with costumes, props, and choreography. With ticket prices starting from $12.15 and going all the way up to $24.30, it's an affordable way to get into the holiday spirit.
On Main Street in Manayunk, Founders Philly Freeze-Out is taking over from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The event will feature over 20 ice sculptures, live carving demonstrations, and a winter market with food trucks and special beer offers from Founders Brewing. For those who want to indulge in some warm comfort, there's also a chowder crawl running from noon to 4 p.m., with advance tickets starting at $18.
For car enthusiasts, the Philadelphia Auto Show is back at the Pennsylvania Convention Center until February 8th. Visitors can test drive electric vehicles, tackle the Camp Jeep obstacle course, and check out custom builds in Custom Alley. Tickets start at just $20 for adults, making it an affordable outing for families or groups of friends.
On Saturday, January 31st, the Penn Museum is celebrating the Lunar New Year with CultureFest! Expect a packed day of dance performances, storytelling, Tai Chi demonstrations, and art activities, all included in the museum's admission price. The highlight of the event is a Lion Dance finale at 3:50 p.m.
Last but not least, Dry Vibes is an alternative to traditional nightlife that promises an evening of speakers, zero-proof drinks, wellness activities, and live entertainment at Billy Penn Studios from noon to 5 p.m. Tickets are available through Eventbrite, making it easy to score a spot at this unique event.
Whether you're in the mood for culture, cars, or just some comfort food, there's something for everyone in Philly this weekend.

Like, who thought it was a good idea to charge $24.30 for a Mummers String Band show? That's just ridiculous! And don't even get me started on the Philly Freeze-Out, 20 ice sculptures is cool and all, but have you seen the prices of those chowders? $18? No thanks! 
! I mean, who doesn't love a good parade with costumes and music? And $12.15 is a steal for an event like that. Plus, it's not every day you get to see some amazing talent on display in Philly 
. Founders Philly Freeze-Out looks pretty cool too... ice sculptures and chowder? yes please! 
I'm so stoked about all these awesome events happening in Philly this weekend! 
The Mummers String Band Spectacular at Lincoln Financial Field sounds like a blast 
, and I love that it's affordable too. And omg, the ice sculptures and carving demos on Main Street are giving me major winter wonderland vibes 
! But if you're feeling cozy, the chowder crawl is calling my name 
. Plus, the Penn Museum's Lunar New Year event looks super cool 
- who doesn't love a good Lion Dance? 
Can't wait to check out the Philadelphia Auto Show too 
, especially since they're offering free tickets for under 20 bucks! And lastly, Dry Vibes at Billy Penn Studios sounds like an amazing alternative to traditional nightlife 
. Philly's got something for everyone this weekend! 
The costumes and choreography are always so colorful and fun to watch. And $12.15 is such a steal considering it's a whole show with multiple bands 
, who needs booze when you can have wellness vibes? 
Founders Philly Freeze-Out sounds like an amazing way to spend the day too, especially with that chowder crawl 
And if my friends are into cars, we gotta check out the Philadelphia Auto Show! 
. And for a chill vibe, Dry Vibes at Billy Penn Studios is just what I need, zero-proof drinks and wellness activities sound like a perfect way to unwind 
. Philly is always the best place to be in winter! 
But if I'm being real, subzero wind chills can be a total bummer 
. That being said, it sounds like there are some awesome events lined up this weekend that'll keep them entertained and warm (ish) 
), the Philadelphia Auto Show is always a hit with my crew. We love checking out those electric vehicles and learning about sustainability 
. Like, who thought it was a good idea to have outdoor events when it's subzero wind chills outside? The Mummers String Band Spectacular is gonna be super crowded and expensive... 24.30 bucks for a show that's probably just a bunch of old guys strutting around in costumes 
.
I'm loving how Philly is pulling out all the stops to make Winter Wonderland happen despite the cold! That Mummers String Band Spectacular sounds like a blast (literally, with all that cheering) and I'm intrigued by the ice sculptures and chowder crawl in Manayunk... have you been to either of those events before? 
The Philly Auto Show looks like a fun way to spend the day, especially for families or car enthusiasts. And on the other end of the spectrum, the Dry Vibes event sounds like just what I need after a long week – all that wellness and zero-proof drinks have me sold! 
Founders Philly Freeze-Out is the place to be! 
! 
! Zero-proof drinks, wellness activities, and live entertainment - what's not to like? 
I'm def hitting up the Mummers String Band Spectacular at Linc Field on sat, it's gonna be so lit 
! on the other hand, car enthusiasts will luv the auto show, plus who doesn't wanna test drive electric cars 
but, I wish there were more events that cater to students like me who have exams coming up this February, you know? maybe a student-friendly event or two would be nice 
i think im gonna hit up that Mummers String Band Spectacular at Lincoln Financial Field on Sat Jan 31st cant wait 2 see those mini musicals & costumes 
and btw Founders Philly Freeze-Out sounds like so much fun w/ ice sculptures, food trucks & beer deals 
️ who else is down 4 the chowder crawl tho? 
. And Dry Vibes sounds like a great way to unwind after a long week, zero-proof drinks and all 
. What I love most is how Philly makes its residents (and visitors!) feel like they're part of something bigger than themselves. It's not just a weekend, it's an experience
