Plan your visit

Search for the current Sexton Sideshow or Old Swedes event listing and attend only on the announced date. The church is an active historic and religious site rather than a daily entertainment venue. Confirm admission, doors, seating, parking, food or drink, and which entrance the organizer uses.

Accessibility

A current series-specific access guide was not found. Contact the event producer or Old Swedes before attending to confirm step-free access into the historic church, wheelchair and companion locations, accessible restrooms, parking or drop-off, hearing needs, and cemetery-path conditions.

About Sexton Sideshow

Sexton Sideshow is a recurring performance series held at Gloria Dei Old Swedes Church, rather than a separate building. The series uses the historic church at 927 South Water Street for live music, theatrical and film-inspired programs, and community arts events; a 2026 Philadelphia Jazz Month concert confirms current use.
