Oktoberfest celebration hosted by Council President Kenyatta Johnson at Wharton Square Park, with food, drinks, music and community activities.
Council President Kenyatta Johnson is hosting an Oktoberfest celebration at Wharton Square Park on Thursday, October 22, from 4 PM to 7 PM. It's part of the park's fall festivities, so it's one of several things happening around the neighborhood as the season turns.
The program is a classic community fair: food, drinks, music, and community activities. It's the kind of afternoon where you can grab a drink, find a spot in the grass, and hang out with neighbors while the music runs in the background. Since it's in the park, it's easy to drop in for an hour or stay for the whole three.
If you've followed Johnson's work in the city, this fits right into how he spends his time. He's known for staying active in the community, with things like community appreciation days, civic engagement workshops, and local cultural festivals. He also supports non-profit grant programs for anti-violence initiatives, partners with groups like Philly Votes on voting resources, and runs youth initiatives through organizations including the Attic Youth Center. This Oktoberfest is another one of those neighborhood-level events he puts on.
