About this Event

Riverfront North Art & History Tour Fall Edition - Explore The Philadelphia North River Trail


Guided by Local Philadelphia Artist, Bob Dix!

Enjoy the autumn colors, along with some history of the Riverfront North Trail of

Philadelphia. A peaceful Fall stroll becomes an enjoyable time of sketching, painting, and

informative history.


The northern part of the river front of Philadelphia has a long story of industrial

growth and expansion. Now with the addition of riverfront trail, nature has

reclaimed many parts, to give us scenic views and beautiful walks. The colors come

alive in the autumn months.


With just a few art supplies, participants will learn about not only about the plants

and animals and history of the area, they will also learn to capture the beauty of the

surroundings. Part nature walk, part artistic escape and part history talk, this

unique experience is a great way to spend a few hours of a colorful day.

Come explore and appreciate RiverFront North in an unusual and creative way!
