Philadelphia is set to honor America’s birthday in the “most Philly way possible,” with Mayor Cherelle Parker unveiling 22 replicas of the Liberty Bell.
The bells, made by Mural Arts–affiliated artists, were painted to reflect the communities in which they will be displayed for tourists and residents to enjoy throughout 2026.
The unveiling of the bells will be held on Friday, January 16, 2026, at 10 a.m. at the School District Warehouse.
“As Philadelphia’s own Liberty Bell served as inspiration for this statewide program, it makes sense that Philly would take it to the next level and bring these bells to as many neighborhoods as possible,” Mayor Cherelle Parker said. “We are a proud, diverse city of neighborhoods with many stories to tell. All Philadelphians should join me in thanking our community and artists for helping to tell these stories.”
All 67 counties throughout Pennsylvania will be given artistically decorated liberty bells as part of upcoming celebrations for America’s 250th birthday. The project is being called Bells Across Pa.
While bells will appear in all 67 counties across the Commonweather, these 22 fiberglass bells will be placed in business corridors across the City of Brotherly Love in the following neighborhoods:
Chinatown
City Hall
El Centro de Oro
Fox Chase
Germantown
Hunting Park
