The sold out viral picnic attracted 1,300 guests clad in white with their white tables, linens, china and décor.

Guests that year popped up in the middle of the JFK Bridge for dinner set against the cityscape to the East and 30th Street Station to the West. In 2014, over 3,500 guests celebrated the 20th anniversary of the Avenue of the Arts by popping up on Broad Street, from City Hall down to Pine Street. The celebration showcased the best of Philadelphia arts and culture with ballet, music and artistic performances.
