As we bid farewell to Christkindlmarkt and welcome the new year, we’re thrilled to reflect on the incredible contributions of our volunteers! The Musikfest Café was alive with energy, featuring performances by “Philadelphia Funk Authority,” “Mysterious Ways & Chasing Daylight” a dynamic U2 and Coldplay tribute, returning favorite “Damn the Torpedoes,” and “Hey Nineteen,” a Steely Dan tribute, just to name a few.
Our annual PEEPSFEST celebration was a sold-out success, bringing joy to families despite the chilly, blustery weather. And once again, our Three Kings celebration went wonderfully as volunteers helped distribute gifts to more than 350 children, completely free of charge.
Check out the photos below from these amazing events!
