There's a farmer's market and craft/ art shows regularly too. Check with the Friends of Rittenhouse organization for a schedule of events.
Of the central Philadelphia public squares, this one is the lively and artsy one. Due to its location, there's plenty of folks stopping by. When I visited there was a man playing music as well as artists displaying their works. This parklet, like the others in Center City, was clean and well maintained. This park had ample seating and makes for a great lunch spot or picnic.
This is a beautiful square and a must-stop on any trip to Philadelphia. It is not enormous, but very well developed and matured. The trees are large and impressive. On most weekends there are art exhibits and the surrounding architecture is beautiful. Take a book and enjoy the afternoon here.
Great refuge in the middle of Center City. It's a favorite amongst Philadelphians and is surrounded by great restaurants and culture. You can catch a farmers market here on the weekends and there are various events throughout the year like the Fine Arts Show in September. It's also a very dog friendly park. I gave it a 4 star because there are a lot of mice (not that big of a deal) and the homeless like to sleep and loiter here unlike at Independence Park which is policed much better.
In the summer you'll going musicians playing their instruments near the fountain I the center circle.
The Square is always a great place to sit and peoplewatch. It's smaller than Washington Square but the layout is much different.
This park always looks pretty and clean whenever I get to visit it. Not really that big in size, if I will recall Central Park in New York City. This park can definitely be seen as among the best looking parks in Philadelphia. I have been there almost all seasons, except on winter. But it is generally quiet even if you see many people around. This is true even during the last time I went there with a friend on a weekday and where many paintings and other artworks were on display and for sale to the curious public. It still didn't look and feel crowded.
