September is in full swing which means we officially say goodbye to summer and hello to fall. With the autumn equinox only days away, the last 7 p.m. sunset of the year will take place Friday, September 20th, 2024 in Philadelphia.
Last 7 P.M. sunset
Summertime is usually signified with those cozy summer nights when the sun dances across the horizon well after 8 p.m. Saying goodbye to summer means the seasons are beginning to change and Philadelphians are gearing up to swap their shorts and flip flops for hoodies and Eagles jerseys.
Although we are sad to see summer go, fall in Philadelphia is filled with plenty of things to do, including leaf-peeping trips and pumpkin-picking.
One of the first signs of the arrival of a new season is the change in the sunset.
Before daylight savings time officially ends November 3rd, 2024, the sun will begin to set sooner.
While 8 p.m. sunsets are already behind us, Philadelphians will see the last 7 p.m. sunset September 20th, 2024.
A look ahead
This week the sun will set one more time at 7 p.m. reminding us of the summer past, the impending autumn equinox, and the start of the last quarter of the year. Slow down Father Time!
Indeed, we can’t stress enough all the ways to enjoy the start of Autumn and the earlier sunsets. Philadelphia is filled with things to do for spooky season, like visiting haunted houses and Halloween-themed bars.
And just around the bend, holiday season awaits offering more great and festive things to enjoy. From light shows to holiday marketplaces, you’ll have a merry time until next summer.
