Philadelphia’s pop-up beer garden that gives back to parks has returned for the 2023 season. This family-friendly and free event will travel to a new park every week for 25 weeks. Proceeds benefit maintenance and upkeep of Philadelphia’s parks.
Event hours:
- Wednesday–Friday: 4 p.m. to 10 p.m.
- Saturdays and Sundays: Noon to 10 p.m.
Attendees can enjoy a variety of fare, including:
- local beers on tap, wine, and cocktails;
- non-alcoholic beverages including coffee, lemonade and water;
- delicious delectables.
Returning this year is Love Your Park Pale Ale. Mainstay Independent Brewing Company created the beer. The company made it to encourage people to volunteer at the park.
Favorite dishes include barbeque pulled pork sandwiches and Mexican street corn dip.
Food and drinks are pay-as-you-go. Vendors accept cash and credit cards. All locations include seating and tables, games, and restrooms. Seating is first come, first served. Be sure to visit Parks on Tap’s website before you go.

Parks on Tap began in 2016 as a way to give back to neighborhood parks. A part of all proceeds benefits each park. This year every participating park will receive a special donation from FCM Hospitality.
Parks & Rec and Fairmount Conservancy created the event in partnership with FCM Hospitality.
