Attendees will be able to browse tables, chat with organizers, and learn how to get involved with diverse groups ranging from book clubs and running groups to arts collectives and community organizations. There is no formal program or application process. Visitors can arrive at any time, explore at their own pace, and connect with their interests as they make their way through the fair.
The PhillyVoice reported that participating groups will include the Fishtown Beer Runners, Philly Podcast Club, Philadelphia Sketch Club, CreativeMornings PHL, Black Girls Hike Philly, and the Philadelphia Freedom Band, among others.
Join Philly is organizing the event. This organization aims to help residents connect with clubs, activities, and communities across the city. “Whether you just moved here or you’ve lived here for years, if you’re tired of hearing about things after they already happened — or scrolling past events you’d go to if you knew one person there — this is for you,” organizers from Join Philly said about the event.
