The annual summer pop-up at Eakins Oval, located on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway in Philadelphia, kicks off today and will run until September 14. The event offers a vibrant mix of activities, including a beer garden, mini golf, food trucks, and various weekly events such as live music performances, movie nights, and youth-focused activities.

The space is operated by Libertee Grounds, known for serving a delicious array of food with Asian-American fusion flavors. This year’s exciting offerings include Korean smash burgers, Masala nachos, and a well-stocked bar featuring both beer and cocktails. In addition, families can enjoy the Philly-themed mini golf course, which remains free for children under 12, while adults and teens can play for a fee of $10.

The pop-up kicks off formally with a Juneteenth Festival this Saturday, which features music, art demonstrations, and an all-Black vendor market from noon until 9 p.m. Movie nights will include screenings such as "Raiders of the Lost Ark" at 8:15 p.m. on Friday. The summer schedule also includes after-dark R&B concerts on select dates, teen nights, basketball tournaments, health classes, and arts and crafts sessions for kids.

Operating hours for the Oval are as follows:

• Wednesdays and Thursdays: 4-9 p.m.
• Fridays: 4-11 p.m.
• Saturdays: Noon to 11 p.m.
• Sundays: Noon to 9 p.m.

The Oval will be closed from June 30 to July 6 to accommodate the Wawa Welcome America festivities.
