British pop-rock vocalist Seal opens Parkway concert: ‘I know it’s hot, but it’s not hot enough!’

The One Philly: Unity Concert for America celebration of the nation’s 250th birthday got going with an international superstar opening act.

British pop-rock vocalist Seal went on at 5:45 p.m., dressed in a mustard yellow blazer, just as the sun dipped low enough to provide a sliver of shade to provide some relief for the red, white and blue crowd gathering in front of the stage.

Seemingly unbothered by the heat, the London born singer of Nigerian and Brazilian descent remarked: “I know it’s hot, but it’s not hot enough! It’s only 105. I need it to be 110!”

‘A lot more shade than I thought’: Concert attendees stay cool on the Parkway

Staying cool on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway has required a bit of planning and some luck.

Princess Akowe, 39, made the trip from Camden excited to see Will Smith and Christina Aguilera.

With a smooth check-in process, Akowe was able to make it to the front of the stage but stepped away around 6 p.m. to grab some food and eat in the shade with a plan to move up towards the stage again later.

Fans paid an average of $925 per ticket to get into today’s World Cup finale in Philly

How expensive was a ticket for the final World Cup game that will be played in Philly? That depends.

Fans in attendance for Saturday’s match between France and Paraguay paid a pretty penny to be in attendance. But according to Front Office Sports, what was paid to be in the house at Philadelphia Stadium paled in comparison to other matches in the round of 16.

The get-in price for the match averaged $925, ranking as the second-lowest ticket offering of the eight matches to be played between Saturday and Monday. Sunday’s match between Mexico and England in Mexico City is currently listed as the highest with a $3,359 get-in price. The cheapest was Morocco’s win over Canada in Houston with an average $694 get-in tag.

City officials will monitor weather conditions throughout Parkway concert amid severe thunderstorm watch

City officials are monitoring weather conditions and collaborating with the National Weather Service throughout the evening’s One Philly: Unity Concert for America, according to a spokesperson for the mayor’s office.

Organizers have stressed that the concert, which was scheduled to get underway at 5 p.m., will be a rain-or-shine event. The entire Philadelphia region is under a severe thunderstorm watch until 11 p.m.

Attendees may receive mobile weather and public safety alerts, and people can get connected by texting AMERICA to 888-777 or by visiting phila.gov for the latest information.

Some heat casualties reported as attendees wait for Parkway concert to begin

At around 5:30 p.m. the concert that had been slated to begin at 5 had yet to officially begin. Performers continued to rehearse onstage with lights and sound as attendees filled in along the grassy swaths on either side of the parkway.

Even with the assortment of misters and free water refill stations, the heat casualties have begun to mount on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, with at least three people being transported into one of the medical tents located throughout the concert’s footprint.

A precise update of the number of people seeking medical attention so far was not immediately available at the City of Philadelphia Mobile Command Post. Questions were directed to the city’s press office.

U.S.-focused preshow kicks off FIFA World Cup elimination game in South Philly

The decibels at Philadelphia Stadium eclipsed the blistering temperature during the pre-game show of the FIFA World Cup elimination game between Paraguay and France.

Thousands of fans from all over the world came together to, aptly for July 4, form a sea of red, white, and blue jerseys.

The colors in the stands were for the flags of the teams on the pitch, but the pre-game show was all about America. The green pitch was covered with a white tarp with blue shooting stars with red tracks.

Near 21st and McKean, residents build memories with a long-running block party tradition

Near 21st and McKean Streets in South Philly, a few pieces of string were all that was needed to remind residents of the annual Fourth of July block party.

As Monica Elder served up a sandwich and condiments to another resident, she said the block party was a tradition that goes back as far as she can remember — and she’s been here 38 years.

Now 55, Elder has become one the leaders on the block who watch over children and preside over the festivities.

Point Breeze block’s first party comes on the 250th: ‘Days like today have all of us coming together’

In Point Breeze, Robin Miller and her neighbors were having a block party together for the first time as a group. Miller and another neighbor started to hang outside together until eventually the duo realized they should make an official gathering and bring everyone on the block together.

What better day to throw the block’s first party than the 250th anniversary of the United States, Miller said.

A bounce castle took over the middle of the block, where a hose was attached to the opening of the slide, and one after another, kids flew down the vinyl slide through a curtain of water into a small pool at the bottom. Another inflatable pool sat nearby where a group of young children and teens lay with just their faces sticking out of the water, cooling off.

The price of custard on the Parkway is ‘way too high’

The 250th concert is free but some attendees are feeling a bit of sticker shock when it comes to the cost of food.

From $20 cheesesteaks to $7 soft pretzels, snack breaks could add up by the time the fireworks start around midnight.

“I don’t like it, it’s way too high,” said Briana Farrington, 24, spooning her small cup of custard that ran her $10.

Visitors begin trickling in for Parkway concert

With gates open for the One Philly: Unity Concert for America, visitors are slowly trickling in and already finding ways to cool down.

Saxxton Brazier, 36, came from Southwest Philly and said she was already drenched through her shorts when she got through security.

“I’m sweating and it looks like I peed myself but I didn’t!” she said with a laugh, after running through one of the several masters placed throughout the parkway to keep attendees cool.

FIFA ‘couldn’t miss’ the opportunity to have a Fourth of July game in Philly

Mattias Grafström was out for a run early Saturday and could already feel the celebrating around town, he said.

FIFA’s secretary general, the soccer governing body’s No. 2 in charge, made his first visit to Philadelphia Saturday during this World Cup. The soccer world will train its eyes on Philadelphia Saturday afternoon, when France, one of the tournament’s favorites, plays Paraguay in the round of 16.

The game, which starts at 5 p.m., is the finale of a daylong soccer celebration in the city. Besides the supporters of both teams making the city home for the weekend, FOX’s studio broadcast also set up shop outside Independence Hall.

They take block parties seriously in Ludlow

Johanna Rodriguez and Michael Cunningham mixed fresh lemonade as they watched their daughter and son splash around in the above-ground swimming pool in the middle of their Jefferson Street block in the Ludlow section of Philadelphia.

The Fourth of July brings the block’s “OGs” into full force, applying for permits, coordinating who will be grill master, and erecting party tables to turn Jefferson Street into a Puerto Rican Fourth of July extravaganza, Cunningham said, gesturing to his mother-in-law, Carmen “Terry” Torres, the block captain and resident of more than 50 years.

Rodriguez said the block takes Fourth of July seriously because it’s one of the only times of the year when everyone comes outside to enjoy the festivities and see each other in person. It also provides the classic July Fourth fun outside during a time when many kids are used to hanging out inside.

Severe thunderstorm watch in effect until 11 p.m.

The federal Storm Prediction Center has issued a severe-thunderstorm watch in effect until 11 p.m. for the entire Philadelphia region.

The criterion for a “severe” storm is wind gusts of 58 mph or higher, but “downburst” winds accompanying the storms could reach 75 mph, said Mike Lee, meteorologist at the National Weather Service Office in Mount Holly.

The watch went into effect at 3:30 p.m., and Lee said the likeliest time for storms would be from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Advocates rally at President’s House Site

As hundreds of people lined up outside the Liberty Bell, about 200 folks gathered in the yard next door at the President’s House Site to honor the nine people enslaved by George and Martha Washington in the 1790s.

But this year, attendees said the annual independence gathering, with its focus on freedom, truth, and remembrance, felt different.

On Friday, an appeals court gave the final legal go-ahead for President Donald Trump’s administration to install the panels it wants to replace the original slavery exhibit.

A Liberty Bell-shaped frozen treat

The line at Franklin Fountain continued along the side of the building, with people dotted on seats and stoops, licking ice cream cones or sipping milkshakes. It was worth it, one patron confirmed to another joining the line.

Several Mr. Softees also staked a claim by the Liberty Bell Center and reaped the benefits.

The ice cream makers at Franklin Fountain, along with Shane Confectionary, rolled out a special Liberty Bell Ice Cream Bar for America’s 250. The bars were made in small, limited batches, from replica molds made with the help of Temple University’s architecture school.

Happy, even in the heat

Though the heat was wearing on some, with maps becoming impromptu fans, there were plenty of smiles and excitement, even as people waited in a long line for the Liberty Bell.

Visitors clutched water bottles, umbrellas, fans, and plenty of ice cream. They waved to broadcast news cameras with glee.

People posed for selfies with Independence Hall as their backdrop, or stopped a wandering Liberty Bell that had seemingly escaped her enclosure at the Liberty Bell Center to grab a picture. A roving band of historical figures wrapped their arms around people for group shots — “Huzzah,” they said, instead of “Cheese.”

Philly is hotter than Florida right now, much to tourists’ dismay

Adorned in red, white, and blue, people gathered in the shade at the Independence Beer Garden across from Independence Mall, escaping some of the record heat to sip beer with the World Cup displayed on a big screen.

Sandra Rahn, from Jacksonville, Fla., was taking a break from the sun to watch the game. Her pup, Matilda, was cooling off alongside her, following the Patriotic Pet Show at the Betsy Ross House.

Rahn, her husband, and Matilda arrived Wednesday to celebrate the country’s 250th, attending as many outdoor events as they could so Matilda could be part of the festivities.

Lackawanna County man honors vets by running for 3 days, from Scranton to Philly

A Lackawanna County man seeking to honor military veterans is set to complete a three-day run from Scranton to Philly Saturday evening.

“I’m pushing for 5 p.m., unless I get heatstroke,” Mike Kravitz said during a Saturday morning phone interview, in between breaths and while shouting “Happy Fourth” to passersby.

Kravitz said the heat has forced him to take more breaks, but that hasn’t kept him from attempting to run the 250-odd kilometers, roughly 157 miles, to Independence Hall. He said he felt called by God to encourage people to live up to their potential.

Colman Domingo among Celebration of Freedom honorees: ‘I am so proud of where I come from’

Seven people with profound ties to Philadelphia were honored Saturday in the city’s Celebration of Freedom.

The awards, created as part of Mayor Cherelle L. Parker’s effort for the Semiquincentennial, recognized those whose legacy “strengthens the city of Philadelphia,” said NBC10’s Lena Tillett, who emceed the event.

The recognized included:

David L. Cohen, Philadelphia Freedom Award for Civic Devotion
Bishop Dr. Millicent Hunter, Philadelphia Freedom Award for Faith, Courage, and Service
Daniel J. Hilferty, Philadelphia Freedom Award for City Champion
Joseph Neubauer and Jeanette Lerman-Neubauer, of the Neubauer Family Foundation, Philadelphia Freedom Award for Transformative Philanthropy
Nasir “Gillie Da King” Fard and Wallace “Wallo267” Peeples, Philadelphia Freedom Award for Restorative Justice and Resilience
Colman Domingo, Philadelphia Freedom and One Philly Award for The American Voice

Strong storms are looking likelier Saturday evening

Potent storms that may come with “downburst” wind gusts up to 75 mph are possible in the Philly region Saturday evening, forecasters are warning.

The likeliest time would be in the 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. period; however, the timing and location of any storms and their durations are uncertain, said Mike Lee, meteorologist with the National Weather Service Office in Mount Holly. Blame the limits of science.

What is certain is that with so much daytime heating, the atmosphere is full of energy and moisture.

Senior yellow lab, Bruno, wins Patriotic Pet Show

Bruno, an 18-year-old yellow Labrador Retriever, sporting big blacked-out goggles and using a baby-dog stroller to move around, immediately stole the show at the Patriotic Pet Show at the Betsy Ross House on Saturday. With his long fluffy blond hair waving in the breeze, Bruno’s confident and smug smile told the crowd everything they needed to know: This veteran was here to bring home gold.

The tiny brick-lined courtyard of the Betsy Ross House was packed shoulder to shoulder as hundreds of residents and tourists witnessed in awe the most patriotic and gorgeous pets Philadelphia has to offer on the Fourth of July. Chihuahuas draped in Eagles green, twin pups dressed as a Geno’s cheesesteak and Betsy Ross, and no one could forget the two adorable snakes, Clyde the ball python and Hoagie the corn snake, whose owners were excited to break the stigma around the friendly no-legged critters.

These contestants play for keeps, as winning the competition doesn’t just provide bragging rights, but also tickets to a Phillies game, the Chinese Lantern festival, and gift cards.

And the winner of it all, Tim Dunlea with his 18-year-old yellow labrador retriever, Bruno, whose favorite activities are “rolling in style” and making everyone happy, Dunlea said. pic.twitter.com/odXkO64Hib

Period costumes in this weather? ‘Everyone’s hot. I’m just a little warmer than most.’

Hidden in plain sight among those braving the serpentine line to visit Independence Hall were numerous time travelers from the Revolutionary era.

Aaron Patrick traveled — like many Revolutionary War soldiers once had done — from Carlisle, Cumberland County, and donned a wool waistcoat and a black tricorn hat as he made his way through the line at Independence Square. Temperature check: About 93 degrees Fahrenheit.

“Everyone’s hot. I’m just a little warmer than most,” said Patrick.

Peco workers picket for better benefits, wages, and pensions

This Fourth of July, a dozen striking Peco workers baked in the sun outside the utility’s Market Street building. The group protested for better working conditions after the workers’ union and the electric company failed to reach an agreement Friday.

“There is a real power imbalance,” said Melissa McCleery, a spokesperson for IBEW Local 614. “These workers work 24/7, 365 days; their work is highly skilled and dangerous most of the time. We need Peco to value them as much as the public does.”

According to McCleery, 16,000 IBEW Local 614 members will remain on strike until Peco can provide all members pensions, better benefits, and industry-standard wages.

Independence Hall closed to anyone not in line: ‘I’d recommend coming back literally any other day’

By 11 a.m., the window to visit Independence Hall is effectively closed for anyone who hasn’t gotten in line, according to a park ranger.

It’s an estimated seven-hour total wait, the ranger said, noting that First Bank, Second Bank, and the Franklin Court Printing Office — which contains an 18th-century printing press — are all excellent alternatives for people who want to take in some history.

“If you’re not in line now, I would say Independence Hall is an unattainable goal, and I’d recommend coming back literally any other day,” the park ranger said.

Mayor Parker: Philly will honor three Black women with bronze statues, including West Philadelphian Blanche Nixon

Philly is getting three new bronze statues honoring Black women, Mayor Cherelle L. Parker announced at the National Constitution Center.

As the United States celebrates its 250th milestone, the job is not to “choose which parts of the American story to tell, it is to tell all of it,” Parker said.

As she stood before a crowded National Constitution Center, preparing to honor seven people with profound ties to Philadelphia, she highlighted that alongside the country’s triumphs, there were also costs: “the Middle Passage, the mistreatment of Indigenous peoples, the injustice of Jim Crow, and the long years of racial and economic discrimination, all the ways this country actually struggled to live up to the creed it declared.”

The Philadelphia Pops and Idina Menzel felt like a balm on a steamy night

Whatever brutally hot designs the weather gods had in store Friday for Philadelphia’s Independence Day celebrations, by 8 p.m. the temperature fell below 90 degrees, and the music on Independence Mall arrived like a balm.

Listeners were stretched across the lawn of the mall for fairly solidly from Independence Hall to Arch St., an estimated 12,000 attendees, according to a Wawa Welcome America spokesperson. Whether drawn by the Philly Pops in tunes patriotic or stirring, or by popular actress-singer Idina Menzel, the crowd was in a mood at once celebratory and relaxed.

The weather posed no threat, at least for the first hour or so.

Veterans rally at Washington Square Park: ‘We are trying to sound the alarm. We are not here to let our service members die.’

Military veterans from around the country gathered in Washington Square Park Saturday morning to rally against the Trump administration and what they call the “billionaire control” of the country.

Military servicemembers are often the first to feel the consequences of bad governance, said Lindsay Knapp, an attorney and former U.S. Army officer who traveled from North Carolina to join the rally.

Knapp said that, as an attorney who advocates for sexual assault survivors in the military, new policies under Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth have made it harder for women to report abuse without fear of reprisal.

Gov. Josh Shapiro makes rounds at Doylestown parade

Chalfont and New Britain residents began lining the sidewalks with sunshades and water squirters before 9 a.m. this morning in Bucks County.

“Don’t feel silly with an umbrella,” advised Bob Doyle, 70, a longtime resident in a folding chair and a wide-brimmed hat who’s attended this parade for over 25 years. “You need it.”

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro walked the route before the parade, talking to attendees. Maryellen Murphy, 68, said she worked with Shapiro’s dad, pediatrician Dr. Steven Shapiro, when she was a nurse at Suburban General Hospital in Montgomery County.

Lengthy lines at Independence Square: ‘We’re making history today’

There’s a two-hour wait just to get into Independence Square this morning — not Independence Hall, but rather, the park just south of the Hall.

From there, visitors still have to wait in a separate line to go through security and then another to visit Independence Hall.

“We’re making history,” National Park Service Ranger Willow Tuttle said of the lengthy wait. “On the day history was made.”

Jefferson wasn’t independent of editors

Writing a revolutionary manifesto infused with Enlightenment ideals isn’t easy, Thomas Jefferson learned in 1776.

In drafting the Declaration of Independence, he had to endure the bane of all writers — editors.

Jefferson, one of the younger delegates to the Continental Congress, spent more than two weeks on the draft before submitting it to a five-member committee that included Benjamin Franklin and John Adams, according to a National Archives article.

Meet Indy: the bald eagle who attended today’s time capsule burial

The eagle, known as Indy, whose full government name is Independence (obviously), made an appearance at this morning’s America’s Time Capsule burial.

Visitors were able to meet and take pictures with her.

Not to be confused with the bald eagle who flies over Lincoln Financial Field ahead of Eagles games (that’s Lincoln), Indy, 10, is from Auburn University’s Raptor Center. She’s a rehabilitated bird who now serves as an ambassador, teaching people about raptors, conservation, and the ecosystems that sustain them.

She went to the country’s 200th birthday with her mom as a kid; today, she honors her late parents’ memory

For attendee Kristine Robinson, from Turnersville, N.J., celebrating the Fourth was in honor of her mother, Katherine.

In 1976, her mother brought her to the city for the country’s then 200th birthday. She remembers standing at Independence Hall then at 6 years old.

Now, 50 years later, she felt like she was honoring the memory of both her late parents — her patriotic mother, who always brought her to the city and collected commemorative coins, and her World War II veteran father.

See you in 500 years: America’s Time Capsule gets buried

Phones were lifted into the air, capturing as a hefty time capsule was lowered into the ground at Independence National Historical Park on the Fourth of July.

America’s Time Capsule — containing snippets from the three branches of the federal government, all 50 states, Washington, D.C., and the five U.S. territories — will rest at the park until the United States celebrates its birthday once more in 2276.

Saturday’s ceremony, held in the early morning before the extreme heat could set in, brought out the public, adorned in red, white, and blue. Indy, a bald eagle, was also in attendance.

The weather on Independence Day 1776 was no sweat

At 1 p.m. on July 4, 1776, the temperature on what is now Independence Mall was 76 degrees by the reckoning of Thomas Jefferson, whose pursuit of weather data was in a league with his thoughts on the pursuit of happiness.

The author of the Declaration of Independence owned 20 different thermometers in his lifetime, according to the Thomas Jefferson Foundation, which operates the Monticello site in Charlottesville, and he purchased one of those in Philly on July 4. (Didn’t he have something better to do?)

He didn’t record a high for the day, or whether it was raining, but noted that the temperature was 72½ at 9 p.m., not long after sunset. (With all those clothes they wore in those days, they still must have been pretty warm.)

Independence Day events in Philadelphia

The nation’s 250th birthday is finally here, and organizations throughout Philadelphia have planned a full itinerary of celebrations for the weekend.

For those seeking historical enrichment, live music from national headliners, or even a patriotic pet parade, look no further.

Here is a schedule of some of the activities and events happening in the city.

Philly’s fireworks won’t start until midnight on July 4th and some residents say that’s too late

Fairmount residents are accustomed to annual July Fourth fireworks; it comes with the territory of living near Benjamin Franklin Parkway, where the city stages its major celebrations. With the United States’ 250th birthday, this July Fourth is no different — except that the fireworks will start closer to midnight.

“We have the whole family coming to our home, all on their way right now,” said Fairmount resident Margo DelliCarpini. “But 11:30, midnight is just too late for some families with children. I understand that it’s the Fourth of July, but the late start for fireworks is decidedly not a family-friendly decision.”

DelliCarpini will have her children and grandchildren visit to experience the Semiquincentennial in the city where the country began. But with young children in tow, parents along for the trip were hoping to have them in bed by midnight, she said. Instead, the large group is looking to catch one of the fireworks shows at Valley Forge or across Montgomery County, which start around 9 p.m.

The eve of the United States’ 250th birthday in Philadelphia was less celebration and more chagrin, as oppressive heat left swaths of tourists and revelers in an aimless search of pomp and circumstance.

On Friday, Wawa’s Salute to Independence Semiquincentennial Parade was canceled because of 100-plus-degree temperatures and a perilous heat index. It was one of numerous events called off or shortened this holiday weekend, as the scorching weather has thwarted events across the region, and potential storms could impact more.

The cancellation left scores of sweat-soaked performers, musicians, and historical reenactors in wool garb stranded near Independence Hall and around Center City. There might not have been the sort of “shews, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations” that John Adams prophesied in a July 3, 1776, letter to his wife, but there was still an air of importance — and some impromptu pageantry.
