Event Status: Available

Join us at The Cedar Works in West Philadelphia for an informal indoor/outdoor celebration with members of the growing community of Walk Around Philadelphia perimeter-walkers and project supporters. 

We'll also be premiering some brand new Walk swag that will be awarded to those who've completed the entire walk!

This gathering will feature JJ's famous lentil soup, a giant bonfire w/ s'mores, a slideshow of recent images from the walk, and opportunities to connect with perimeter-walkers & help shape the project's next steps.

It's been another amazing year of Walk Around Philadelphia programs, with two fully sold-out cycles of the walk and several great new outreach opportunities and other events in between and now it's time to gather, reconnect, reflect and envision what comes next for this project. 

Join us to hang out 4-7pm; the Circumnavigator Awards will be presented ~5:30pm

Friends & family welcome; please just register them here too so that we know how many folks to expect.
