Spring Has Sprung

Ladies and Gents, I did not wear a jacket to work today!! I may be rushing it just a bit (and I do only have to walk a block to work), but I think Spring and warm weather is here to stay.  With the arrival of beautiful sunny days, I certainly want to jump at every chance I can take to be outside and enjoy these short-lived months of bliss.  And, in just a few days the city will begin to offer some great opportunities to take advantage of Spring in the city.  Check it out...

The Philadelphia International Festival of the Arts has already started to transform Philadelphia into the City of Lights!  Starting April 8th, the 81 foot replica of the Eiffel Tower will be lit at the Kimmel Center, and every night there will be French food/wine/lessons and free nightly performances.  Check out their schedule for information on purchasing tickets and finding free events that continue throughout the entire month, such as Last Party in Paris, which I cannot wait for!  And to end it all, PIFA will be shutting down Broad Street all day on April 30th and transforming it into a Parisian Street Fair complete with a giant ferris wheel/food/vendors/performances.  Je suis très excité!

And after a month of experiencing Paris, head on over to the Race Street Pier for it's unveiling!  The kick-off event starts on May 11th, (tickets needed) and it will then be open to the public on May 12th.  I'm eager to see what the park will have in store for us!

And lastly, the beloved Center City Sips will begin June 1st!  If you don't already know, Sips offers HH specials from 5-7pm every Wednesday until the end of August.  Securing a table outside with the gals for $4 cocktails...yes please!

Enjoy these next couple of warm-weathered months, Philly!!!
