City officials have unveiled plans for RockyFest 2024.
The city-wide event series is set to take place Tuesday, Dec. 3, through Sunday, Dec. 8, welcoming fans from around the world to immerse themselves in all things "Rocky."
In 2023, the Philadelphia Visitor Center partnered with the Sly Stallone Shop to offer Rocky fans officially licensed Sylvester Stallone merchandise at the shop's first and only brick-and-mortar location.
Through this partnership, Philadelphia's first-ever "Rocky Day" was held on Dec. 3, the release date of the original film in 1976.
