Philadelphia Family Celebrations Guide
Tips, advice, and resources for a planning the best birthday parties, bar and bat mitzvahs, and special occasions in Philly!

This Philadelphia Family Celebrations Guide is about more than just birthday parties. Think of all the reasons we have to celebrate over the course of a year — holidays, milestones, anniversaries, religious days, big sporting days, (ok, mostly any Sunday during Eagles season for many of us!) and so many more! Our Celebrations Guide is here to help amp up the revelry for any day you’d like to make even more special. Find places you can host a party, catering ideas, places to shop, bakeries, party favors, where to buy the best gifts locally, and MORE!
