Car-Free Streets for Four Sundays this Summer

Center City District (CCD), with support from Midtown Village Merchant's Association and the City of Philadelphia, plans to expand its popular street closure program for the first time this summer with Open Streets: Midtown Village. During these closures, pedestrians will be invited to stroll nearly six blocks of car-free space while enjoying expanded outdoor dining, shopping and ambient entertainment for all ages. CCD will provide ambient entertainment, including acoustic musicians and strolling performers. A portion of South 13th Street will be designated as a family-friendly zone, featuring sidewalk chalk, bubbles, games and toys. The Walnut Street intersection will remain open to cars.

Time: 11 a.m.-5 p.m.
