12th Walk Around Philadelphia: [Aug 25 from 61st and Baltimore]

Join the 12th Walk Around Philadelphia!

Walk Around Philadelphia creates cultural events that bring people together in shared  experiences that connect them to their own bodies, their neighbors, and the landscape of Philadelphia.

For the 12th walk, we’ll be setting out to explore the city’s edge counterclockwise over four weekends in August and September, in small and big groups, with special events along the edges, including an exhibit and gallery hours at Cherry St Pier. 

Registration fee: $15 / $25 / $50. No one turned away for lack of funds.
