Major festivities an be found around any church named Evangelisms, whose name day it is.

Jurassic Park comes to Philadelphia for a month with The World Fair of Dinosaurs. Heralding itself as "the best dinosaur event in 65 million years", Dinofest will feature the largest collection of dinosaur eggs ever assembled. There will be film and art exhibits with presentations from palaeontologists, and 15 life-sized, "fleshed" as opposed to flesh eating robotic dinosaurs. Let's hope they don't start incubating the eggs
