Out with the old, in with the cold! Dilworth Park is ready to begin its annual wintertime transformation.
Op-ed by CCD president and CEO Paul Levy, on recent proposals to tax development in the city.
Center City District offers ice skating, outdoor dining and cold weather fun through February 2022! Beginning this November, visitors of all ages can enjoy a dramatic seasonal transformation as fountains are replaced by the Rothman Orthopaedics Ice Rink and reindeer topiaries take up winter residence on the Greenfield Lawn. In addition, a full lineup of free entertainment is planned, including the Deck the Hall Light Show, the Made in Philadelphia Holiday Market and Rothman Orthopaedics Cabin.
Jobs are back, salaries are rising, Center City’s population continues growing, conventions, tourism and retail are all rebounding, and pedestrian vitality is almost fully restored in many portions of the downtown. Office vacancy, however, is rising, challenged by a partial return to office and reinforced by a wage tax that encourages suburban residents to remain remote.
As Philadelphians welcome a new year, and a new decade, with excitement, Dilworth Park continues to provide free to low-cost fun to visitors of all ages. Winter events and amenities will remain in operation through February 23.
Winter is coming, and the transformation of Dilworth Park into a holiday wonderland will soon be underway!
CCD will welcome the return of winter events and attractions in Dilworth Park in November.
Welcoming more than 60,000 skaters last season, the Rothman Institute Ice Rink at Dilworth Park will open Friday, November 10, 2017, with a salute to veterans.
