Center City District‘s Open Streets Program returns for its third year, closing select streets in Philadelphia to invite people to shop, dine, and socialize.
Organizers shared that 20 Open Streets events are scheduled from April to December this year, marking the largest number since the program began.
Over the last two years, organizers said Open Streets attracted more than 170,000 visitors and earned a “Best of Philly” recognition.
“The results have been good for Center City, good for the retailers and restaurants of Rittenhouse Row, and good for Philadelphia, adding a chapter to the story of a downtown that is resilient, inventive, evolving, improving, and ambitious,” CCD President and CEO Prema Katari Gupta said in a news release.
CCD released a comprehensive report documenting the outcomes and future of Open Streets:
