What to Expect at Parks on Tap for the 2026 Season
Find the seasonal pop-up at these Philly parks.
Parks on Tap, the popular touring beer garden, returns for its ninth year, spanning 27 weeks until mid-October.
The season kicks off on April 8 at Azalea Garden, a scenic area near the Philadelphia Museum of Art and Lloyd Hall Recreation Center featuring gorgeous flora once in full bloom. The pop-up will remain there until April 19, before moving around the rest of the city.
What To Know
The series is free entry, but food and drinks are pay-as-you-go. Vendors take credit cards or cash, but a card is preferred.
A portion of all proceeds goes to Philadelphia Parks & Recreation to fund projects such as trail improvements, tree plantings, and movie nights.
You must be 21+ with a valid form of ID to enter, and alcoholic drinks must stay within the restricted area. Younger attendees must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
Some seating will be available on-site, but feel free to bring your own blankets or chairs to lounge in the parkland.
And yes, pups are allowed too.
What’s on the Menu
The menu offers a variety of appetizers, sandwiches, and both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.
Offerings include a pulled pork sandwich ($16), a loaded Mexican hot dog ($10), and a veggie crunch wrap ($14). Select vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options are also available.
For drinks, you can sip on options like spicy mango margaritas ($12), draft beers ($8), and wines ($11). If you want a zero-proof drink, you can choose from lemonade ($3), soda ($3), or Athletic Brewing Company’s N/A drinks ($8).
