This Labor Day Weekend, the Made in America Festival returns to Philadelphia for its fifth year of music and fun. Hundreds of thousands of festival-goers people will flock to the Benjamin Franklin Parkway on Saturday, September 3rd and Sunday, September 4th to enjoy live music from some of the biggest artists in the world.
