4th of July Fireworks from the Schuylkill River paddle from Temple Boat House

This is a BYO only event: Bring Your own kayak or Standup Paddleboard...no rentals available

We're going to paddle on the Schuylkill River to watch the fireworks over the Philly Art Museum on July 4th!

Meet at the Temple Boathouse at 6pm, on the water by 6:30, if you're late just catch up

We'll paddle up river first, then down so that we can get a good viewing spot for the fireworks
Fireworks are scheduled to start around 9:30 - we should be in position and just float around by 9
Fireworks may last like 20 minutes or so
then we'll have to paddle back up to take out
plan to be on the water for like 4 hours - so make sure to bring water, snacks, and of course, TASTY BEVERAGES! woooooooo

Make sure to have lights!! headlamps at least but lights for you kayak or SUP are also a good idea, and fun
You may need the light to see by when we take out

STREET CLOSURES! We should have access to the Temple Boathouse parking lot, but Kelly Drive between the Art Museum and Fountain Green Drive will be closed...so anyone coming from the city will need to take an alternate route
Also, many streets near the Art Museum area will be closed until after midnight so for anyone going home back into that area may need to park their car elsewhere for the night
