Inaugural PAFA Museum Holiday Lighting Celebration
Outside the Historic Landmark Building, PAFA Museum
Start the holidays with a night to remember at PAFA Museum in Center City Philadelphia.
Join us November 20 for the first-ever holiday countdown and ceremonial lighting of PAFA Museum’s spectacular Historic Landmark Building.
Then, join us for an evening of art, music, food, drinks, and festive experiences. Celebrate the season at the inaugural PAFA for the Holidays Cocktail Reception, hosted by the Women's Committee of PAFA. Individual tickets and sponsorship opportunities are available, with proceeds supporting PAFA's new seasonal initiative.
The evening also marks the debut of Fridays After 5, PAFA’s new after-hours museum series for adults, featuring music and DJs, cocktails, food, gallery access, and creative experiences in historic Cast Hall.
The outdoor Holiday Lighting Celebration is free and open to the public. Admission to the museum and participation in other evening activities, including the cocktail reception and Fridays After 5, are separate. Food and drinks will be available for purchase.
