From walking tours spotlighting revolutionary trailblazers to lavender lattes that give back, Philadelphia is marking Women’s History Month with a citywide celebration. Throughout the month of March, local hotels, museums, restaurants and community groups are hosting special events to honor women’s stories and support women-focused causes.

Kimpton Hotel Palomar + Beyond the Bell Tours

The Kimpton Hotel Palomar and Beyond the Bell Tours have teamed up for the occasion and will be offering the Badass Women’s History Tour throughout March. While on the journey, participants will hear stories of different entrepreneurs, doctors, politicians, artists, and activists who helped shape Philadelphia. Tickets come out to be $59 (hotel guests and groups can redeem an exclusive 10% discount), and tours will be held daily at 11 a.m.

Loretta’s

Loretta’s latest sip is inspired by both Women’s History Month and the Philadelphia Flower Show. The women-led business has created the Steel Magnolia ($9), an iced lavender Earl Grey latte with salted honey whip (garnished with dried flowers). For every Steel Magnolia sold throughout March, Loretta’s will donate $1 to  Women’s Way, a nonprofit organization dedicated to achieving gender equity by driving systemic change.

Betsy Ross House

The Betsy Ross House is hosting a full month of special events. Throughout March, Storyteller Saturdays (11 a.m. to 3 p.m.) will feature award-winning Once Upon A Nation storytellers shining a light on women’s “often-overlooked contributions to American history.” On History Maker Sundays (11 a.m. to 3 p.m.), locals can meet businesswomen, abolitionists, and suffragists from the past.

Then on March 22 (11 a.m. to 3 p.m.), locals can head to the venue for Meet the Women of the Betsy Ross House. There, you’ll encounter Betsy as a young seamstress secretly stitching the nation’s first flag, and later as Betsy Ashburn, the remarried upholsterer crafting musket cartridges for the Continental Army.

At Alice, a sweet treat will do some good during Women’s History Month. For every Blood Orange Bundt Cake sold, the Italian Market restaurant will donate 15% of proceeds to the Philadelphia-based nonprofit,  Women Against Abuse. The dessert is paired with salted caramel and French vanilla ice cream, and will be available throughout March.
