Join us for a fun-filled afternoon on the Strawberry Mansion Bridge with Parks on Tap.

Start out by meeting We Walk PHL for a short walk, departing from the parking lot across from the Dell Music Center at 1:30 PM. Along the walk, we’ll explore the bridge and take in some of the scenic views of Fairmount Park overlooking the Schuylkill River.

Then transition into dancing on the bridge with Charlie of Dancing with Charlie at 2 PM. He will be teaching The Philly Jawn so be ready to learn, laugh, and move in style. After the first session, we will take a short break to rest and hydrate before stepping with Marvette starting at 2:40 PM (full schedule below).

After having enjoyed healthy movement and dancing, we’ll kick back and rejuvenate with sips* and snacks at the last Parks on Tap of the season.

*Refreshments provided while supplies last, courtesy of Parks on Tap, Fairmount Park Conservancy, and the Healing Through the Land grassroots initiative.
