Join 5th Square members and friends for our annual Holiday Party + Urbanist Awards Ceremony at Resurrection Philadelphia, 42nd & Pine Streets on Wednesday, December 13th at 7 PM!

5th Square will be presenting awards to members of our community for their outstanding contributions to Philadelphia’s urbanist movement.

Since 2014, 5th Square political action committee's all-volunteer team has been hard at work supporting candidates for public office who support our mission, and then holding them accountable between election cycles for building a city that works for all Philadelphians—with safe streets and sidewalks for pedestrians and cyclists, high-quality affordable transit, abundant housing choices, and high-quality public spaces in every neighborhood. 

Come celebrate with other Philadelphia built environment activists, neighborhood and community leaders, architects, planners, builders, and sustainability advocates at the urbanist holiday party of the season!

Drinks and light fare will be served.

Tickets are $30 purchased online ($40 at the door).
