Yep .. every year there is a HUGE block party and then fireworks at the Art Museum later at night

Then there is Penns Landing .. there are concerts and stuff every weekend during the summer

Afghan President Hamid Karzai will receive the 2004 Philadelphia Liberty Medal, given to those demonstrating leadership in the pursuit of freedom.
The award, which comes with a $100,000 prize, is given each July 4 at Independence Hall in Philadelphia by the non-profit, non-political Philadelphia Foundation.
