PHILADELPHIA, PA — Philadelphia’s homegrown holiday is back and louder than ever as the 3rd Annual 215 Day takes over the city on Sunday, February 15, delivering a full day of discounts, giveaways, exclusive experiences and a new grand-finale party designed to celebrate everything that makes the city unmistakably Philly.
Presented by Do215, the locally recognized celebration honors the city’s original 215 area code, first issued in 1947, and transforms it into a 24-hour showcase of food, music, arts and neighborhood culture. Organizers say the 2026 edition expands the scope with more citywide deals and a new two-floor nighttime event billed as the 215 Day Major Rager.
The capstone party will be held at Warehouse on Watts beginning at 7:00 p.m., featuring live sets from Rob Paine, SYLO, GINA and Shearn, along with interactive art installations, theatrical performances, costume contests and two floors of dancing. Tickets range from $10.15 to $13.85, with the event restricted to guests 21 and older.
“With our third annual 215 Day, we are continuing to ramp things up further with more giveaways, deals around the city and a two-floor event to cap it off, all with the goal to celebrate our city,” said Do215 General Manager Ellei Johndro. “Philadelphia is thriving with everything from incredible restaurants to fantastic venues, some of the greatest sports teams and fans, theaters and concerts, museums, major events, and more.”
Throughout the day, residents and visitors can tap into dozens of food and drink specials tied directly to the 215 theme, including $2.15 pours, coffees, snacks and beers at participating bars, breweries and cafés across the city. Offers include $2.15 Kölsch pours at Wissahickon Brewing, $2.15 draft beers at Tradesman’s, $2.15 coffee and baked goods at Vault and Vine, and discounted lagers, fries and cocktails at locations ranging from Love City Brewing to Deke’s Bar-B-Que.
The celebration also features a slate of giveaways from local businesses, with prizes ranging from restaurant gift certificates and bar tabs to wellness services, museum memberships and event tickets. Additional ticket giveaways and experiences will be released as the event date approaches, according to organizers.
Johndro said the goal of the day goes beyond discounts, aiming to spotlight the neighborhoods, artists and small businesses that shape the city’s identity while giving Philadelphians a reason to explore beyond their usual routines.
“As you celebrate 215 Day, we hope you’re able to fully take advantage of all these exciting deals and giveaways, and wrap up the day with us at Warehouse on Watts for an evening of theatrical fun, live art and local sounds,” she said.
To mark the 2026 edition, Do215 commissioned local artist Brian Langan to create a commemorative poster blending vintage aesthetics with modern Philadelphia references. The artwork will be available in poster form at select locations around the city.
Founded in Philadelphia in 2023 as part of the national DoStuff media network, Do215 curates local events, concerts and cultural happenings while offering free access to ticket giveaways and special promotions. Organizers say 215 Day has become a signature moment for the platform, turning a familiar area code into a citywide celebration of local culture.
