Philadelphia is kicking off Ring it On! One Philly: A United Celebration. City leaders and partner organizations will gather in Point Breeze to share how local businesses, cultural groups and neighborhoods will be involved. Afterward is the Market Festival, where you can check out local vendors, music and activities geared toward all ages. The event also offers an early look at new streetscape and beautification improvements, like benches, bike racks and planters.
Getting to the Events
If you’re participating in the press conference and/or festival, SEPTA is a great way to ensure you arrive on time. Bus Route 17 offers stops nearby; alternatively, Ellsworth-Federal Station on the [B] Broad Street Line is about a 15-minute walk from 1300 Point Breeze Ave.
If you’re taking PATCO into Philadelphia from New Jersey, riders can take the [B] Broad Street Line to travel to the events. Exit PATCO at 12th/13th & Locust Street Station. Take the escalator or stairs to concourse level, exit PATCO’s fare gates and follow signs to exit to street level. Head north on S 13th Street toward St. James Street, then left onto Walnut Street. SEPTA’s Walnut-Locust Station is on the corner of Broad & Walnut streets.
Road Closures
To facilitate the events, Point Breeze Avenue and 21st Street will both be closed from Wharton to Reed Streets will be closed to traffic, which will impact SEPTA’s bus service until 9 pm. For specific details on the detours, please visit SEPTA’s Alerts and Detours page.
