Hear the tale of one of the weirdest, most over-the-top events in city history: a massive, medieval style party that happened in South Philly—not far from Old Swedes—during the Revolutionary War. You’ll be left remembering the name and unlikely story of one of the key players. Presentation by Cara Schneider Bongiorno of Philly History Pop Ups.
Admission is $10, which includes a drink ticket for a beverage of your choice (alcoholic or non-alcoholic). Advance registration is required.
This program will take place inside the church sanctuary, followed by a reception in Riverside Hall. For a modest donation, you can taste delicious gourmet desserts paired with wine, coffee or tea.
This event is hosted by the Historic Gloria Dei Preservation Corporation. 100% of the funds that we raise from this event will go toward the preservation of Gloria Dei (Old Swedes’) Church and its graveyard.
