Weeknights Live

Great news! The Department of Commerce’s Nighttime Economy Unit launches Weeknights Live, a year-round program to energize early-week evenings on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday through live performances from local artists at hospitality businesses in participating areas across the city.

Inspired by Mayor Cherelle L. Parker’s vision for a more vibrant and connected Philadelphia, the Weeknights Live program is an expansion from the successful pilot initiative at participating hotels on Tuesdays to now also include Mondays and Wednesdays in neighborhood commercial corridors.

Through this year-round program, the Department of Commerce is committed to provide fair pay for local artists and performers that will activate participating businesses with live music.

Join us to enjoy live performances, build meaningful connections and experience the vibrancy of our city’s nightlife. Together, we are showcasing Philadelphia’s world-class talent and contributing to the growth of nighttime economy.
