“Proclaim LIBERTY throughout all the land unto all the Inhabitants thereof”. So read the words around the rim of the Liberty Bell which, along with our flag, are America’s two most enduring symbols of personal freedom. The Liberty Bell now receives 1.5 million visitors per year in the Liberty Bell Center, one block from its former home in Independence Hall, America’s Cradle of Liberty.
And what more perfect time to celebrate the absolute masterpiece of American and multi-cultural freedom that is Philadelphia than springtime when the city virtually explodes from its winter cocoon with high-flying festivals and events one weekend after the next. Art, music, food, flower shows, horse shows, county fairs, college sports to pro sports, tall ships to rowing shells—Philadelphia’s got a lot to brag about, and springtime is when Philly shakes off the winter blues and starts showing it off.
