September 2025 Meetup

Join 5th Square organizers and volunteers for an informal, in-person meet-up at Resurrection Philadelphia in Center City!

At this meetup, we welcome Nick Anderson, Executive Director of the Parkway Council

The Ben Franklin Parkway has been the subject of many attempts at public place-making efforts over the years, but this latest plan is the most advanced one yet in terms of increasing public space in front of the Art Museum, and it stands the best chance of actually happening. We'll hear about the current status of the plan and the federal funding application and the other Parkway-related developments.

These meet-ups are casual social gatherings, and are intended as a fun way for new and existing supporters to connect with other people involved with 5th Square and urbanist issues in Philadelphia, either professionally or in a volunteer/activist capacity, and learn more about what our all-volunteer organization is up to. If you've been meaning to check out one of our events or meetings but haven't made it out yet, this will be a good first one to come to. And please bring a friend or two!

Light Refreshments / Beer / Pizza served with a $10 suggested donation.
