Philly All-Day 2023


WELCOME
Facebook page
Please join us December 2 for an all-day singing from the Shenandoah Harmony — followed by a pub carol sing that evening, and a Christian Harmony singing brunch the next day. See below for a full schedule.
HOUSING
We will be happy to put you up! If you’d like to request housing for the weekend, please fill out this quick form — https://forms.gle/HmqJRHjGVT4Uyq7T6 — or contact housing co-chairs Chelsea Feltman (chelsea.feltman@gmail.com) and Tim Leonard (timleonardcello@gmail.com).
TRANSPORTATION
If you are able, please park either in the Acme parking lot at 40th and Walnut Streets (about 4 blocks from the singing, $15 flat fee for all day and evening) or on the streets (metered parking right by the church, but free parking starts a block or two further west). If you need to park closer, there are two small parking lots on either side of St. Mary’s church. St. Mary’s is also easily accessible by SEPTA, Philadelphia’s public transit system.
COVID (**updated**)
Because of the recent increase in cases, we will require everyone to test negative the day of the singing. We will have plenty of tests for people who need them. Please either take a test before you get there, or come with enough time (15-20 minutes) to test when you arrive. And please stay home if you are having cold or flu symptoms, whether you test positive or not. We will miss you!
