Celebrate America’s 250 years of history where it all started!
Hey, Philly! Come out to the Walnut Street Dock at Schuylkill Banks, the Schuylkill River Trail Boardwalk or the South Street Bridge on Saturday, July 11th to see the launch of the Philly Phlotilla! Kayaks will launch at approximately 1pm
The event is sold out, but you can still be part of the fun!
On Saturday, July 11th over 100 kayakers will take to the river for a one-of-a-kind paddling event and festival to celebrate the unique historical significance of the Schuylkill River and Fort Mifflin on the Delaware. The event will begin at the Walnut Street dock and kayakers will paddle through the heart of Philadelphia decked out in red, white and blue, creating an amazing spectacle for visitors and residents to view and cheer on the flotilla from the river bridges. Paddlers will also be accompanied by SV First Light, Phila Sail, a family-owned sailboat company that specializes in historic river trips.
The flotilla will paddle eight miles, led by experienced river guides, to Fort Mifflin, the “Fort that Saved America,” to continue the celebration.
