Little Friends of Rittenhouse Square Festival

Join the Friends and be the first to receive an invitation to this fun family festival, a tradition under the Big White Tent.


Ball on The Square

Thursday, June 17, 2010

The 27th Ball on The Square is an evening of glamour in the heart of Rittenhouse Square.  Members of the Friends receive the first invitations.


Have your Affair in the Square in June 2010!

For the first time ever, the huge tent that houses The Ball on The Square is now available to be rented by others. Available dates are June 18, 19, and 20. Imagine how stunning your event will be! Instead of a hotel ballroom, your party will be in the heart of Philadelphia's most gorgeous, Parisian-style park.

The 50 x 100 tent, plus ancillary tenting and walkways, is permitted for 300 people. The tenting will stay up throughout the weekend.

This rare opportunity is available to your charitable organization or private event not only this year, but also on the third Friday, Saturday, and Sunday of June, 2011 and beyond.

Details:

*Rental is arranged by making a charitable contribution to the Friends of Rittenhouse Square.
*Your event must be approved by Fairmount Park.
*If approved, your event will be covered under the permit granted to the Friends of Rittenhouse Square.
*You must use Fairmount Park suppliers for park-related services (i.e. water and electrical hook-up).
*In 2010 and 2011, you must use Stephen Starr Events, which will have a full kitchen in place from the Ball on the Square.
*Your rental of the tent is for one day only, 12:01 AM to 11:59 PM. It must be left broom-clean for the next event.
*Rental of other services - i.e. air conditioning, lighting, dance floor, portapots - is available from the Ball's suppliers, or at your discretion.
*Parking - there are 5 parking lots immediately surrounding the Square. We are happy to share our list of parking suppliers with you.
