December First Friday #whyilovephilly Party at the Hamilton Family Arts Center

December First Friday #whyilovephilly Party at the Hamilton Family Arts Center

First Friday with Drink Philly is back for December. Drink Philly has partnered with Philly Love Notes, Philebrity, and the Arden Theater to bring you the #whyilovephilly party. The next shindig will be December 6th from 6-9PM at the Arden Theatre's Hamilton Family Arts Center. For those unfamiliar with the center, it is located at 62 N. 2nd St., right up the street from the Arden Theater. 

As always, there will be plenty of local food and drinks on hand including an exclusive #whyilovephilly flavor of Little Baby's Ice Cream. Rumor has it, that soft pretzels and butterscotch Krimpets are involved. If you’re looking for some entertainment to go with your snacks, there will be tunes from Philly DJs and bands, performance artists, a photo booth, and handwritten Philly Love Notes. 

If this sounds like your kind of party, register here. Registration is free, but please note that registration will be limited, so get your tickets early. There will be a suggested donation of $5 at the door that will go to Arden Theatre programming, and will get you treats from vendors like:

Drinks:
Victory Brewing Co
Yards Brewing Co
Round Guys Brewing
Philadelphia Distilling Co. 
Triumph Brewing Co
Philadelphia Brewing Co.

Food:
Little Baby’s Ice Cream
Bierstube
Continental 
Cavanaugh’s Rittenhouse and Headhouse
High Street on Market
Victoria Freehouse
Joe's Steaks

If all this isn’t enough to get you excited, we also have an Instagram contest. Tag your photos with #whyilovephilly and #whyilovephilly_13 by Sunday, December 1. We will be choosing the top 8 photos for love note postcards and take home prints. So register now, spread the word, and spread the Philly love. 

The party is made possible by our sponsors: Visit Philadelphia, PHLCVB, City Paper, the Marc Hammarberg Group, Uber, Newsworks, the Sixers Cave, P’unk Ave, and Flying Kite. In fact, Uber is offering guests $20 in free rides for new users. Just enter the promo code: ilovephilly13.
