For the duration of the festival (June 28th til July 6th), the America's Birthday promo rate at Loews Philly offers rooms starting at $149.00 without breakfast, plus an historic character appearing each day showing up to tell some stories and give out Independence Day favors.

The whole America's Birthday package, starting at $189.00, includes an Independence Day-themed continental breakfast for two adults, plus free accommodations and breakfast for up to two children under 18.

And for the kids:

The "America's Birthday" package and special rate also include Loews Loves Kids amenities that feature such items as a Fisher-Price gift bag with toy for children under 10; access to the Kids Kloset filled with games, books and a wide range of travel necessities; children's menus in SoleFood and through room-service; cribs and roll-away beds, and child-proofing kits for the guest rooms.

The Welcome America! festival has tons of dancing, food, games and music for the whole family.

John Legend headlines on the 4th (before the fireworks over the Philadelphia Museum of Art), and Boyz II Men is scheduled to perform on the 5th.

Don't want to leave the hotel to see the fireworks? Just look Northwest. We understand: it's best to save your energy for the Boyz II Men concert the next day.

Reservations can be made here.
