You have 3 days to choose from to enjoy Oktoberfest in Dilworth Park. There will be tons of seasonal craft beer, live music from a DJ and local bands. There's also a chance to shop at the Made in Philadelphia Fall Market.

Don't believe ghosts? Well, might after you check out the "Ghost Ship" that sailed its way into the Delaware river last weekend. It's a 50 foot tall and 90 foot wide light and water based installation. This spooky ship will be docked in Race Street Pier until November 3rd so you still have time to see it.
