POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED
The Office of the City Representative & Special Events is proud to continue our mission of helping Philadelphians celebrate their communities through event permitting, planning, and resource support. We’ve built on that success by promoting Philadelphia as a world-class host city and recruiting major events that bring visitors, economic opportunities, and excitement to our city. In the first 1,000 days of the Parker Administration, we’ve processed more than 5,500 event permits, from major festivals to neighborhood gatherings. Different events, one shared purpose: bringing Philadelphians together to celebrate the people, places, and communities that make our city special. ♥️💙 taken in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania by @phillymdoevents
