Open Streets: West Walnut

Stroll. Shop. Socialize.

Car-Free Streets for Four Sundays This September   

Center City District (CCD), with support from Rittenhouse Row and the City of Philadelphia, plans to transform one of Philadelphia’s most popular shopping and dining destinations, 18th Street from Locust to Chestnut and Walnut Street from 15th to 19th, by temporarily closing streets to vehicular traffic. During these closures, pedestrians will be invited to stroll nearly seven blocks of car-free space while enjoying shopping, dining and activities for all ages. CCD will provide ambient entertainment, including acoustic musicians, strolling performers, dance groups and more. A family-friendly zone will offer sidewalk chalk, games and activities for kids. The cross streets will remain open at select intersections, including 16th Street, 17th Street, 19th Street and the 1700 and 1800 blocks of Sansom Street.

Dates: Sundays, September 8, 15, 22 and 29 
Time: 10 a.m.-5 p.m.
