Parks on Tap – Philly's traveling beer garden – returns. Here's the 2025 schedule

Do you like beer, outdoor spaces and great vibes?

Well, you're in luck. Philadelphia's "Parks on Tap" program is returning for its eighth season.

The traveling beer garden will make 27 stops at the city's beautiful parks over seven months.

This year’s program kicks off on April 9 at the Azalea Garden in Fairmount Park, and locations are open Wednesday through Friday, 4 p.m. to 10 p.m., and Saturday through Sunday, 12 p.m. to 10 p.m. 

Event organizers said that over the years, more than 200,000 people have attended, and more than one million dollars have been raised for Philadelphia parks.

With every purchase made at Parks on Tap, a portion of the proceeds is reinvested into Philly's parks via partners at Philadelphia Parks & Recreation and each park’s friends group, event organizers said.

“Parks on Tap creates civic pride and engagement by encouraging each community to look at their neighborhood park in a new way,” said Avram Hornik, Owner of FCM Hospitality. We are deeply grateful to the team at Parks & Recreation and all of the park friends groups for inviting us into their community.”
