The Kimmel Cultural Campus announces the return of FREE programming showcasing local artists, bringing to life the original vision of the Kimmel Center building as a place for continuous live entertainment. The FREE programs, taking place under the Kimmel Center’s soaring 150-foot vaulted roof in the Plaza, include Family Fundays, Lunchtime Unplugged, Happy Hour Sessions, and Nightlife at the Kimmel.
“This series is one more way we’re meeting our guests where they are – offering new audiences a casual opportunity to come check us out at every time of day, while encouraging existing patrons to come early and stay late!” said Crystal Brewe, Chief Marketing and Audience Experience Officer on the Kimmel Cultural Campus. “With more local talent onstage and more student up-and-comers, this new lineup offers more opportunities to gather around the power of the arts.”
This season includes returning partners Jesse Bermudez & AFROTAINO and Jazz Philadelphia, as well as new Family Fundays partner Musicopia.
Each date’s individual artists to be announced at a later time
