Philly Free Streets started when Pope Francis came to visit. Walking through the streets with no cars and being able to take in the beauty of the city can be a truly awe-inspiring experience.
The movement grew when the Open Streets PHL team and the Philadelphia community advocated for this to be a yearly event. The Open Streets Movement claim to provide communities with free and accessible recreation and connecting communities together, improving public health.
They encourage people to look at their city in a new light, without traffic and meeting each other in the streets without the busyness of everyday life.
Hit the pavement and see Philly without traffic!
