Let’s ring it on! 🔔

Today, we joined for the official kickoff of Bells Across PA. Bells will be installed across the Commonwealth, and thanks to our partners at Philadelphia 250 and Mural Arts, Philly will host 22 bells throughout our neighborhoods—celebrating our diverse communities and talented artists.

These installations are a key part of the City of Philadelphia and Philadelphia 250’s Ring It On! initiative, led by Mayor Parker, which puts our neighborhoods at the forefront of America 250’s anniversary.
