The Fairmount Arts Crawl is an annual event that attracts over 4,000 residents, visitors, and art lovers alike to the Fairmount neighborhood. Come and stroll down the avenue visiting over 37 different businesses-turned-art-venues housing over 70 installations. Along the way enjoy music, dancing, kids activities, live demonstrations, and so much more! The best part of the day is that all of the activities and venues are FREE except for Eastern State Penitentiary and the Philadelphia Museum of Art’s Perelman Building where regular admission rates apply.
