History on the Street: Back to School Edition

Saturday, August 29, 2026

12:00 PM-4:00 PM

National History Day Philly and the Historical Society of Pennsylvania invite you to an end-of-summer celebration for the whole family. Kick off your school year with museums, cultural organizations, and community partners sharing their resources through a day of fun and discovery.

This street festival will feature vendors, activities, food trucks, and a live DJ. Connect with partner organizations like the Museum of the American Revolution and the National Constitution Center to explore what Philadelphia’s history community has to offer for students, teachers, and families alike.

Then, step inside the Historical Society of Pennsylvania to experience the work of student historians as they share their National History Day projects—from documentaries to performances to websites! Plus, explore a pop-up exhibit highlighting HSP’s collection on local Black history.

Open to all, History on the Street: Back to School Edition is the perfect way to close out the nation’s 250th summer celebration and get inspired and excited for what’s next!
