Spring has sprung, and so has the 2023 DesignPhiladelphia Festival. The DesignPhiladelphia team has been working since last October to make the 2023 Festival better than ever. Now it’s your turn! Registration for the 2023 DesignPhiladelphia Festival is now live. Click here to register! 

We are back at our Festival Hubs, Cherry Street Pier and the Center for Architecture and Design, from October 4-15th with the Kickoff Party on the evening of Wednesday, October 4th at Cherry Street Pier. The registration process is a bit different this year, so we’ve included detailed instructions below as well as in the Event Partner packet. As for deadlines, choose your event option by: 

• May 31, 2023 for the Early Bird deadline ($300 event/$150 open house registration) 

           OR 

• June 30, 2023 for the final deadline ($500 event/$300 open house registration) 

We’re excited to work with everyone, veterans and fresh faces, to activate the city and spotlight Philadelphia as a design city. If you have a vision or something you want to show off, reach out to Jermaine Jenkins and Preeti Reddy (jermaine@aiaphila.org and preeti@philadelphiacfa.org), so we can make it happen! 

If you have any questions surrounding registration, we will be holding a virtual meeting on Friday, April 21st to answer any questions you may have. Click here to attend! 

We can’t wait to see what everyone has been cooking up since last year!
