Weekend Planner: Dollar Days & Free Festivals

Go easy on the wallet this weekend at these family events that only cost a few dollars -- some are even free!

Admission to Hagley Museum in Wilmington, DE is only $1 today (and every Thursday in July & August).

Enjoy $1 ice cream, yoga classes, doggie treats & more along the Baltimore Ave. Dollar Stroll this evening in Phila.

Also tonight in Phila., you can take advantage of the 5 After 5 promotion at the National Constitution Center, where admission is only $5 after 5pm.

FREE family festivals on Saturday include the Bastille Day re-enactment at Eastern State (it's more silly than scary!), a Christmas in July celebration out in Lancaster County, PA, and the weekend-long Haddonfield (NJ) Crafts & Fine Arts Festival.
