Event Status: Available
We’ll walk a short segment of the Walk Around Philadelphia exploration of the city’s perimeter from Cherry Street Pier past Washington Ave Pier and towards Pier 68 as part of the "Camp Cherry Street Pier" Labor Day weekend events.
This walk is an opportunity to contemplate borders & boundaries as well as all of the complexities of the city; ecology & infrastructure, development & decay, public & private spaces.
This is a also little preview glimpse of the larger 100+ mile Walk Around Philadelphia circumnavigation of the entire city.
This is a ~3 hour / ~4 mile experience. Although the walk will begin and end at Cherry Street Pier, people who join are welcome to peel off as they see fit; there are many SEPTA bus options along the route if needed.
After the walk we can continue the conversation at Cherry Street Pier’s beer garden.
The next full iteration of the walk will take place over four weekends Sept 5-28. More info at: http://www.WalkAroundPhiladelphia.org
