- Events:
- First Friday - Old City Art Gallery Open House
- The first Friday of every month, rain or shine, year-round.
- Hours: 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM
- First Friday is a unique cultural event in Philadelphia and one of the citys most popular evening escapes. Held the first Friday of each month, rain or shine, this arts communitys "open house" brings together city dwellers and suburbanites, contemporary arts and antique collectors, aficionados of classical and contemporary design, and theater and performance buffs.
- The welcoming informality of First Friday, with member organizations and galleries of the Old City Arts Association hosting receptions and exhibition openings, attracts crowds of casual browsers as well as buyers. All galleries are open to the public.
- First Friday is always a festive event as Old Citys quaint streets are filled with people strolling about. The many area restaurants offer a wide variety of eating experiences from simple meals to elegant, fine dining.
- ...parking regulations in Old City are suspended...
- Join hundreds of people along 2nd street between Market and Arch Streets
