Ben Franklin Bridge 100th Anniversary Celebration (car-free bridge walk)
For one day only, the Ben Franklin Bridge closes to traffic for its 100th birthday, letting the public walk the roadway across the Delaware. Start from the Philadelphia side and cross to Camden, where the main celebration near the toll plaza has food trucks, live entertainment, family activities, and historical exhibits. PATCO runs every 20 minutes; advance registration is encouraged.
