For generations, Philly has been the secret sauce behind unforgettable moments in Black entertainment history. Yet most people walk these streets without realizing the legends who stood here first.
On this Black Music + Movies Walking Tour curated by Chrissy/Philly Experiences, you'll discover the people, places, and stories that helped shape the soundtrack of America (and the world) from jazz and Philly Soul to hip hop, radio, poetry, and Hollywood. This walking tour celebrates Blackness with Black locals and visitors - no exceptions. Private group tours are available 7 days a week and open to all.
