Update: The North American Festival of Wales is thinking of all those affected by the current COVID-19 global health crisis. As the information we know continues to change so quickly in Wales, Canada and the United States, we wanted to let you know we are continuing to review all of the daily announcements and updates. If information comes to light that may change our plans for the 2020 North American Festival in Philadelphia, PA, we will be sure to communicate with you as quickly as possible. In the meantime, we can all take a deep breath, and sing!

The North American Festival of Wales ~ Philadelphia awaits to welcome you and the NAFOW to the birthplace of the United States! If history is your interest, you won’t want to miss the new Museum of the American Revolution, featuring George Washington’s original campaign tent, or the Constitution Center, which focuses on the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. If this is your first visit, don’t leave “Philly” without seeing the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, and other attractions at Independence National Park. Christ Church and its burial ground may be of special interest; many Founding Fathers worshiped and are buried there, including Robert Morris. Head to South Philadelphia to bite into a real Philly cheesesteak, then lose those calories in a run up the “Rocky” steps to the Art Museum. Be sure to view the Museum’s world-class collection, and visit the Barnes (reservations suggested), and Rodin Museums located in buildings along the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. Science buffs strolling the Parkway won’t want to miss the Franklin Institute, the Academy of Natural Sciences, or the Mutter Museum. Following these visual feasts, pop into the Reading Terminal Market for food of every ethnic variety. Gourmands may wish to book a reservation at one or more of Philadelphia’s fine restaurants. Croeso!
