Free hoagie alert!

Wawa Welcome America’s Hoagie Day returns this Wednesday, July 2 with tons, literally 4.5 tons, of free hoagies for all to enjoy.

On Wednesday, July 2, beginning at noon, spend your lunch break on Independence Mall with all of the freshly-made hoagies you can imagine.

Wawa Hoagie Day also serves as a salute to members of the military, police force and firefighters. Throughout the day, watch local police and fire departments compete in a variety of Hoagie-centric events and enjoy a patriotic performance by the United States Army Fife and Drum Corps.

Just across Independence Mall, the National Constitution Center opens its doors for free all day long on Wednesday, July 2 and promises a variety of special programming like an exhibition about the history of the hoagie and live music.
