Bridge Walk for Peace

Join members of the faith and service community to commemorate the Anniversary of the Assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., on April 4th date with a sunrise walk across the Ben Franklin Bridge followed by coffee and a discussion around reducing gun violence in our communities.


The Sixth Annual Bridge Walk for Peace will be held on Thursday, April 4 and start promptly at 6:00 AM (when the pedestrian walkway opens) at the north walkway entrance of the Philadelphia side of the Ben Franklin Bridge. Walkers will traverse across the bridge – stopping at the pinnacle to offer a prayer for peace at sunrise -- and return to Philadelphia (approximately 4 miles total).

Walkers will be invited to join others members of the community for coffee (approximately 7:00 AM) at Old St. George’s United Methodist Church (4th Street & New) located at the foot of the Bridge to discuss ways to work for peace in our communities.
