If you want to experience an essential piece of Philadelphia's summer culture, you need to head up to East Fairmount Park and catch a show at the Dell Music Center.Originally built in 1929 as the summer home for the Philadelphia Orchestra (back when it was known as the Robin Hood Dell East), this venue is a historic, open-air amphitheater that has evolved into the city's premier destination for R&B, soul, gospel, and jazz. Following a massive $6.2 million revitalization, "The Dell" is now a world-class, 75,000-square-foot outdoor entertainment complex.Boasting over 5,300 reserved seats and a fantastic, relaxed 600-capacity general admission lawn, the amphitheater offers a massive, communal energy while still feeling intimately connected to the stage. It is most famous for its long-running "Essence of Entertainment" summer concert series, which runs every Thursday evening in July and August and regularly draws up to 5,000 patrons a night. The venue has hosted absolute legends over the decades—from Dizzy Gillespie and Ella Fitzgerald to modern contemporary icons like Gladys Knight and Patti LaBelle. Because the city's Parks & Recreation department manages it, the venue is deeply committed to keeping ticket prices affordable and serving the community, making it one of the most welcoming, family-friendly concert experiences in Philadelphia.Local Tip: Parking at the Dell Music Center is entirely free! But because of the venue's massive popularity during the summer concert series, those free lots fill up incredibly fast. You will definitely want to plan ahead and arrive early to secure a good spot before the tailgating and pre-show festivities really get going.
