Here are a few ideas from an Away.com staffer who lives in Philly. Let us know if you need more! "There's a ton going on in the summer. One of the biggest events is Philly Beer Week http://www.phillybeerweek.org/ . Penn's Landing hosts a lot of free concerts and events, including Taste of Philadelphia http://www.visitphilly.com/events/philadelphia/taste-of-philadelphia/ . If you're looking for something a little more pedestrian, check out North Bowl http://www.northbowlphilly.com/ , which puts you in the heart of one of Philly's most exciting neighborhoods, Northern Liberties. A good resource for all things Philly is: http://www.visitphilly.com/events/summer-events/ "
