CCD will welcome the return of winter events and attractions in Dilworth Park in November.

Successful street closure pilot program results show pronounced economic impact and increased foot traffic, suggest opportunity for future iterations.

CCD celebrated the 10th anniversary of Dilworth Park’s transformation from a desolate concrete plaza into a welcoming, active, green public space that is now the most popular year-round amenity in the heart of Center City.

CCD welcomes the arrival of autumn with a full lineup of free-to-attend programs starting in September at parks and public spaces across Center City, including Dilworth Park’s 10th anniversary, a hay maze and events for office workers.

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.

CCDRW will highlight Center City’s diverse dining scene this fall with discounted menus at more than 100 locations.
