Olney neighborhood
We do not have a meeting place for this group yet.
You can join online.
Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Check the events calendar for the next event and go, or sign up for updates with the Get Updates form in the site footer..
You can just show up.
What to expect
Events celebrate the neighborhood's many cultures with youth arts, a community dinner, and performances by local artists. Each calendar listing shows the venue, the time, and whether the event is free.
Tips for your first visit
- Check the calendar listing for the venue and time before you go, since events move between places.
- The group's office is in Center City, so go by the event listing rather than the office address.
- Join the Get Updates list in the footer so new events reach you.
Newcomer welcome
Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: Events are public, the calendar shows each one, and the site offers an email update sign-up..
