PHILADELPHIA, PA--(Marketwire - August 31, 2010) -

WHAT:   Red Bull Flugtag will be landing in Philadelphia for the first time over Labor Day Weekend and what better place to round out the summer than in the City of Brotherly Love. Come September 4th the skies above the Delaware River will swarm with homemade flying machines that are sure to reflect the city's rich history and also pay homage to the region's sports, food, culture and rivalries. It's sure to be one for the Philadelphia's record books.
     
WHO:   Thirty-two teams from across the northeast look to defy gravity with their human-powered machines on September 4 at Red Bull Flugtag Philadelphia.
