With Labor Day weekend just around the corner, the pressure is on to soak up these last few weeks of summer. Luckily, the City of Brotherly Love and Sisterly Affection has an all-star lineup of end-of-summer fun for this weekend. 

Whether you're looking to head to the ballpark to see the Phillies vs. the Nationals or maybe FDR Park for the Summer Music Festival, we've got something on tap for everyone to enjoy.

Here's a list of things to do in Philadelphia this weekend.

Phillies vs. Washington Nationals at Citizens Bank Park

The NL-East-leading Phillies welcome the Washington Nationals to Citizens Bank Park this weekend after a much-needed day off and a three-game sweep of the Seattle Mariners.

The Phils have a couple of promotions this weekend. On Friday night, fans 21 and older will get a Miller Lite floppy hat. Friday night is also the team's "Phillies Wives Save a Pet at the Park to benefit Pennsylvania SPCA" night. Fans can buy a mystery baseball autographed by a Phillie to benefit the cause. Fans can also donate pet supplies for the PSPCA.

On Sunday, kids 14 and under will receive a pair of BradyPLUS Trea Turner sunglasses and can also run the bases after the game.

The probable pitchers for the three-game series against the Nats are:

Friday: Taijuan Walker (4-6, 3.34) vs. Cade Cavalli (1-0, 2.20)

Saturday: Mitchell Parker (7-13, 5.83) vs. Aaron Nola (1-7, 6.92)

The Under the El Bazaar Summer Send Off will keep visitors on their toes all day, whether they're dancing to live music, perusing and shopping the long lineup of local vendors, playing with beach balls and bubbles (as any good summer send-off party would have), or playing with sidewalk chalk!

The end-of-summer party will be held under the El on the 1700 block of North Front Street. Guests are invited to stroll, sit, savor and most importantly, soak up these last bits of summer.
