50 Years of Friends
The Friends of Rittenhouse Square is thrilled to invite you to our annual Ball on the Square Gala, one of the last remaining black-tie events in Philadelphia.
This unforgettable evening returns on

For one magical evening, the center of Rittenhouse Square will be transformed into a magical ballroom for our guests to enjoy.
Join us for this unforgettable black-tie occasion, featuring a cocktail reception, three course seated dinner, with drinks and plenty of dancing, and a fabulous live band. This years event will be honoring Barbara Eberlein for her years for dedication to Rittenhouse Square.
