Tacony Together is back for our 4th year planning Fall for Tacony, a free event series through the season of Fall meant for children and families. Every year, we’re happy to bring these accessible events to our neighbors that encourage people to come together and participate in their community!
Fall for Tacony wouldn’t be possible without our amazing partners who share their spaces, resources, and time to execute these events. We’re lucky to have the Tacony Library, Tacony LAB Community Arts Center, Tacony Community Garden, and Tacony Civic Association as continued partners in the neighborhood.
This year, for our Halloween Festival, we’re working with the Philadelphia Visitor Center and Albrecht Events to make it bigger and better than ever! We’re so grateful to have all of our partners and look forward to the events they’re able to help us put on!
For more information for any of the events, please email nicole@taconytogether.org. Read the list below for event details!
