Philadelphia weekend: Summer fest and Avenue of the Arts block party

🛼 Get your last skate sesh in this weekend at Dilworth Park before the checkerboard roller rink says goodbye. Tickets: $10 adults; $8 children 10 and under, plus $6 skate rentals.

🎪 The circus invades the Philly burbs but it ain't Ringling Bros. Paranormal Cirque is a darker, freakier and more sensual high-flying affair. Expect lots of skin and to hold your breath during the death-defying stunts under the big tent outside Neshaminy Mall in Bensalem. Runs through Sunday. Tickets: $20-$60

• Children 13-17 years old can attend if they're accompanied by a parent or guardian.

⚾ The Phils are looking to snag a Marlin this weekend. They continue their homestand with Miami, starting Friday at 6:20pm. Tickets: $60+

• First pitch is at 4:05pm on Saturday. Tickets: $43+; Sunday's game starts at 1:35pm. Tickets: $35+

🏰 Enjoy the sand without the cleanup. Summer in the Sand, a homage to our favorite season, returns to Peddler's Village today and runs through Aug. 31. World-renowned artists created five huge and intricate sand sculptures, including one celebrating the great outdoors. It is free to enter the village and see the sculptures.

🎢 Summerfest kicks off today at Penn's Landing. Swing by the arcade, enjoy boardwalk games and carnival rides, play a round of mini golf and get your fill of funnel cake, crabfries and other goodies. Admission is free and everything else is pay-as-you-go.

🎉 The Avenue of the Arts block party is Saturday from 11am-7pm. The event includes live performances, local vendors and food trucks.

Free but registration is required for the Party on the Plaza performances.
