Made in America festival crowd jokes on the Parkway

Made in America, founded by Jay-Z in 2012, is a multi-artist music festival held on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway and Eakins Oval that regularly draws large crowds. Locals commonly make jocular remarks about festival-related traffic, lines, and the eclectic artist lineups as part of Philadelphia event banter. The festival’s presence on the Parkway has become a recurring element of summer/kickoff-to-fall local conversation.
