This spring, a unique tribute to Bruce Springsteen will be taking place in the city of Philadelphia. As part of the ongoing Battleship New Jersey Museum and Memorial’s reopening festivities, the iconic mascots from Philly’s sports teams will be joining forces to honor The Boss.
On May 28th, fans of both Springsteen and the mascots will have the opportunity to witness this one-of-a-kind performance. The event, aptly named “Philly Mascots Sing Bruce Springsteen,” will feature beloved characters such as the Philadelphia Phillies’ Phanatic, the Philadelphia Flyers’ Gritty, and the Philadelphia Eagles’ Swoop coming together to perform classic Springsteen hits.
The idea for this unique tribute came about as a way to celebrate the reopening of the Battleship New Jersey Museum and Memorial, which had been closed for several months due to the ongoing pandemic. The museum, located in Camden, New Jersey, is a popular tourist attraction that offers visitors the opportunity to explore a real battleship and learn about its rich history.
The event will take place on the pier next to the battleship, providing a picturesque backdrop for the performances. Attendees can expect a lively atmosphere filled with music, dancing, and the energy that only Springsteen’s music can bring.
While the mascots may not be professional singers, their enthusiasm and love for Springsteen’s music will undoubtedly make for a memorable and entertaining show. Fans can look forward to seeing their favorite characters belting out classics like “Born to Run,” “Dancing in the Dark,” and “Thunder Road.”
In addition to the musical performances, there will be plenty of other activities for attendees to enjoy. Local food vendors will be on-site, offering a taste of Philadelphia’s renowned culinary scene. There will also be opportunities to explore the battleship and learn about its storied past.
Tickets for the event are currently available for purchase, with a portion of the proceeds going towards supporting the Battleship New Jersey Museum and Memorial. This is a great opportunity for Springsteen fans and sports enthusiasts alike to come together and celebrate the reopening of a beloved cultural institution.
So, if you find yourself in the Philadelphia area on May 28th, make sure to grab your tickets and head down to the pier in Camden for an unforgettable night of music and fun. It’s not every day that you get to see the Philly mascots channel their inner Springsteen!
