Ben Franklin Bridge 100th Anniversary Celebration
For a century, the Benjamin Franklin Bridge has connected Philadelphia and Camden, linking communities, supporting commerce, and moving millions of people across the Delaware River. Join us as we celebrate this historic milestone and look ahead to the next 100 years.
Stop by our table to learn more about the Institute’s new exhibition Flash! Bang! Boom! A History of Fireworks, see examples of some of the featured fine art, and make some of your own with rainbow scratch paper!
The celebration will take place on the Camden, New Jersey side near the Ben Franklin Bridge toll plaza. The main event area will be centered around this location. See the event’s official website for directions and more details.
This event is free and open to the public.
