Philadelphia, Pennsylvania – Fans of the Made In America festival in Philadelphia will have to adjust their plans for 2024 as the event announced it will not be held along the Ben Franklin Parkway that year. The festival, known for celebrating music and community, made this decision public in a statement released online on Wednesday. Since its inception, the festival has been a platform for music enthusiasts to come together, support local small businesses, and raise awareness for important causes.
The festival’s executive production team shared their commitment to reimagining a live music experience that highlights their passion for music and the community. Although no specific date for the 2024 festival has been announced yet, the team promised an exciting comeback for the event.
