Red Bull Flugtag Philadelphia

Red Bull Flugtag

If you are in Philadelphia this Labor Day weekend, you have to stop and watch the Red Bull Flugtag Philadelpia event.

The Red Bull event begins today, at 11:00 AM and ends at 4:00 PM.

The word “Flugtag” means “Flying Day” in German, and it involves teams of competitors trying to fly the longest and furthest. What they do is jump off a 30 foot high pier over the water. In this case it is over the Delaware River. The event usually involves a lot of entertainment and very little actual flying. They draw huge crowds, and there should be a ton of onlookers out in Philadelphia to watch the event today.

If you are interested in going, the Flugtag will begin on Pier 1 at the Camden Waterfront. It is the first time the event has been in Philadelphia.
