Places to take your Mercedes Benz in Philly (Part 1)

Philadelphia

Looking for something to do in the Philadelphia area this spring? Spring and summer make Philadelphia come alive so make sure to check out some of these local events.

Ninth Street Italian Market Festival

Visit America’s oldest continuously operating open air market on the weekend it truly comes to life. Bring your appetite and take in the multitude of sensory delight as 9th Street is closed off for the entire weekend and you can dine alfresco to take in the sights and sounds. See stands offering fresh peppers and sausage, snack on roast pork sandwiches, famous mango roses, endless pastries and more.
If you’re in the mood for a walk, stroll down blocks of marketplace where merchants offer snacks made especially for the festival, musicians make their rounds and the area’s top chefs give live cooking demonstrations to show off the best they’ve got.

Brandywine River Blues Festival

Looking for something to do on Memorial Day weekend? Consider heading down to the gorgeous Brandywine Valley for their annual festival celebrating great music and great wine. You can bring your own picnic or eat at Chester County’s Chaddsford Winery.

There are two live blues bands playing each day, and admission to the festival gets you two concerts, wine tasting, and a souvenir wine glass. Take a tour of the wine making and barrel aging cellars or just sit back and have a picnic at this lively festival. Keep in mind, kids aren’t recommended at the River Blues Festival, and pets aren’t allowed.

Frida Kahlo Exhibit at the Philadelphia Museum of Art

In its only East coast stop, the Frida Kahlo exhibit is at the Philadelphia Museum of Art until May 18th. The exhibit, put together to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Kahlo’s birth, features over 40 of her works in the first major exhibit of its kind in the US in over 15 years.

Drink in the beauty of this iconic Mexican artist’s take on love, Mexican life, and family. Kahlo was known for her small and personal Surrealist paintings that burst with color, symbolism, and raw passion.

If you don’t have the Benz yet and you want to get one in time to cruise Philly in the spring, stop by your local Philadelphia Mercedes Benz dealers, your Fort Washington PA Mercedes dealers or you Wilmington DE Mercedes Benz dealers to get set up with the ride of your life and cruise around town in style.
