The Wawa Welcome America tradition is back on again.
The screening of the iconic movie Rocky on the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art was rescheduled to Thursday, June 27 due to impending severe weather.

Fans of all ages will have to wait one more day to be able to enjoy not only the film but also food and drinks from local food trucks, a pop-up beer garden, free snacks courtesy of Herr’s and Tastykake and a new Rocky Shop.
But that won’t be the only thing for people to partake in.
Guests will also have the opportunity to participate in one of two free 30-minute Rumble Boxing classes that will be held at the base of the art museum’s steps.
