About Benjamin Franklin Parkway

Benjamin Franklin Parkway is Philadelphia’s iconic cultural spine, extending from the city’s museum and arts district at the West End near Eakins Oval to the Logan Square East End at 16th & Arch. The Parkway hosts a cluster of historic and modern venues, including Marian Anderson Hall (formerly Verizon Hall), Perelman Theater, Miller Theater, and the Academy of Music, with a newer Calder Gardens adjacent to the Barnes Foundation. Whether you’re attending a concert, theater performance, or festival, we’ve got you covered with practical tips on seating, parking, transit, and nearby hotels and dining.

Note: Verizon Hall was renamed Marian Anderson Hall in 2024 to honor the Philadelphia-born civil rights figure. Calder Gardens opened on the Parkway in 2025 as a Calder-infused venue adjacent to the Barnes Foundation, offering a unique cultural experience alongside the Parkway’s established venues.

Plan ahead to secure your seats and enjoy easy access via multiple transit options and nearby hotel partners. We’ve included affiliate recommendations for convenient lodging and dining to enhance your visit.

Regardless of which venue you attend along the Parkway, you’ll find modern on-site facilities at Kimmel Center/Garage and the Avenue of the Arts garages, plus on-street parking options. For a seamless trip, consider staying at nearby hotels like The Windsor Suites or Sofitel Philadelphia, both within a short walk or ride to the venues. SEPTA and PATCO connections along Broad Street and near Walnut–Locust Station make public transit a practical choice for downtown Philadelphia visitors. The Oval at Eakins Oval and the annual Wawa Welcome America Fourth of July festival bring extra energy to the area each summer, making Benjamin Franklin Parkway a lively hub of music, theater, and culture year-round.
