Flash 🔙 with us. 2024 marks #CampusPhilly’s 20th year as an economic development non-profit dedicated to attracting, engaging, and retaining diverse, emerging talent in Greater Philadelphia. Join us in celebrating! 🌟 This #FlashbackFriday, we're throwing it back to 2014. Here are some memorable moments 👇 ◼ 2014 marks Campus Philly's rebrand from "College Day" to "CollegeFest." ◼ In 2014, CollegeFest welcomed new and returning college students to Philadelphia with an all-day festival held along the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. ◼ In 2015, CollegeFest was held for the first time at Dilworth Park. Campus Philly welcomed 5,000 students from 140 colleges and universities for a day filled with swag from local vendors, free admission to eight local cultural institutions, and free transportation provided by the Philly PHLASH® Downtown Loop. ...and this year, we are anticipating 20K+ students at #CollegeFest2024, with over 25+ participating museums and historical sites, a FREE #CampusPhilly Block Party featuring live performances & local vendors, and so much more.
