The City of Philadelphia is pleased to announce that we are exploring hosting an Open Streets event. Holding an event this fall will recapture the momentum and excitement of the Francis Festival experience felt by Philadelphians and visitors alike.

The goal of the Open Streets event will be to provide a free space for open activity from curb to curb. Though Philadelphia has a history of street festivals and special events, blocking off streets for free play would be a first for the City.

We want to hear from Philadelphians to shape the specifics of the Fall 2015 event. Your input could set the stage for a citywide Open Streets program that brings the experience to neighborhoods across Philadelphia.

Please answer the following questions to help shape the Fall 2015 Open Streets event.

If you have other ideas, please write to OpenStreets@Phila.gov to share them.

Thank you for your suggestions, and stay tuned for further details.
