Philadelphia World Heritage Day was instituted by Mayor Kenney in 2016. It 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 official city celebration is carried out in a different location and in a different way. In 2019, we will celebrate World Heritage Day at Independence Hall, in honor of the 40th anniversary of this national landmark's UNESCO designation. The program will include remarks by the National Park Service, Global Philadelphia Association, and Mayor Kenney.

This is an annual city holiday, and we encourage everyone to celebrate and mark the occasion in their own way. Let us know how you plan to mark the day by emailing Melissa Stevens (melissa.stevens@globalphiladelphia.org).
