Event Status: Available
Join us to celebrate after the completion of the 12th walk for a sweet gathering at The Cedar Works.
We'll gather from 5-7pm for festivities including a campfire, pizza & beer, foot soaks from the brilliant Kate Farquhar and a running projection of images from recent segments. Walkers completing the final segment of the walk will join us as they complete their trek and we can hear about it from them fresh off the trail!
*This is the culmination of the last segment of the full perimeter journey this season, but not the last chance to walk or gather! On Saturday, September 23rd, the Cherry Street Pier exhibit closing includes bonus walks along the Delaware River.
