Philly is ready to show off in 2026.

This will be a monumental year for the Philadelphia area - including the Semiquincentennial or 250th Anniversary celebrations, over 100 art and history museums, including the new Calder Gardens, FIFA World Cup matches, MLB All-Star game, and the PGA Championship. With James Beard Award winners abound, and on the heels of inaugural ceremonies by World’s 50 Best and Michelin, there is also a ton of culinary talent driving visitors to Philly.

If there was ever a time to visit or return to Philly, it’s 2026. Discerning travelers – local drive markets and abroad – are taking note of the birthplace of America, and are planning visits with taste and great expectations.

Here at Bondfire, we’re helping businesses capitalize on the influx of traffic and capture the attention of visitors and locals alike, through PR, marketing and social media, to ensure reservations and seats are filled night after night. Amid the milestones of 2026, and beyond.

While the interests of travelers will vary, there is one thing they all have in common: they need to eat and drink!
