Hey, Philly!
Rocky Balboa may be a fictional movie character, but Philadelphia’s love for the iconic underdog is as real as his statue outside the Art Museum.
To celebrate 48 years of the Rocky film franchise, Philadelphia is gearing up for the first-ever RockyFest, a citywide celebration of the release date of the original 1976 film.
RockyFest runs from Tuesday, December 3 through Sunday, December 8 and already has a series of events planned, including Rocky-themed bus tours, the chance to recreate Rocky and Adrian’s date at the Philadelphia Zoo, and of course, several Rocky movie marathons . .
Local artist John Rivoli also created an exclusive RockyFest 2024 poster featuring classic moments from the Rocky films.
More information about RockyFest and the event schedule can be found on the Philadelphia Visitor Center website.
