Philadelphia World Heritage Week May 24-28, 2021
World Heritage Week will be presented virtually through social media.
We'll be posting throughout the week and all of the videos will be available to watch on Facebook.
Follow GPA on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter to catch all the fun!
Philadelphia is celebrating six years as a World Heritage City with a week of
virtual festivities for the whole family!
Philadelphia World Heritage Day was instituted by Mayor Jim Kenney in 2016, and is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of each May. This annual event is an important part of bringing awareness of Philadelphia's World Heritage City to all city residents. Each year, the celebration is carried out in a different location and in a different way. In 2021, we will celebrate our 6th year as a World Heritage City by holding a week of virtual festivities, to be held May 24-28.
