Lovin’ Philly is contagious. And thanks to the #WhyILovePhilly campaign, which kicked off in 2011, the concept has spread like wildfire.
The Internet has rallied. And with the power of a hashtag, residents from all walks of life have joined their collective voices and declared to the world why they love Philadelphia.
The #WhyILovePhilly Party held on Friday night at the Arden in Old City was the culmination of this year’s love-fest.
Guests gathered to share photos, tell tales, and enjoy some of the best locally made food and drink the city’s most talented entrepreneurs have to offer.
