About this Event

The celebration will take place on the Camden side of the Ben Franklin Bridge near the toll plaza and will feature live entertainment, food trucks, family activities, historical displays, and the rare opportunity to walk the bridge roadway while it is closed to vehicular traffic. Meet the crews who help maintain the bridge, explore the vehicles and equipment that keep it operating, and discover the story behind a century of engineering, innovation, and connection.

Whether you're a lifelong resident, a history enthusiast, or simply looking for a fun day out, there's something for everyone.

Getting to the celebration is easy. PATCO will operate enhanced service with trains every 15 minutes throughout the event. Complimentary shuttle service will be available between PATCO's City Hall Station and the event entrance, as well as between the Philadelphia Bridge Plaza and the event for guests traveling from the Pennsylvania side.

Admission is free. Advance registration is encouraged to help DRPA prepare for the event and ensure a safe, enjoyable experience for all attendees.

We look forward to celebrating this once-in-a-century milestone with you!
