This weekend we have the 3rd huge event coming to Philadelphia in recent history. Between the Pope’s visit, the DNC, and now the 2017 NFL Draft, Philly seems to be the go-to city for major events of all kinds. All we can hope for now is that the weather clears up! Have a great weekend Philly!
2017 NFL Draft
April 27-29 – Benjamin Franklin Parkway
Starting Thursday the Ben Franklin Parkway will be the backdrop for the 2017 NFL Draft. There will be all kinds of fun things to do including a zip-line, a chance to take your picture with the Vince Lombardi trophy, live music, and of course the chance to meet your favorite NFL players. Philadelphia was the very first city to host this event in 1936 and the 2017 festivities are looking like they will be out of this world! Whether you are an avid football fan or just a Philadelphian interested in a good time, the draft will have lot’s to enjoy!
