Now through Sunday, Dec. 8, fans can follow in the footsteps of South Philly’s favorite fictional fighter, solving franchise-related clues along the way. It all starts at the Italian Market Visitor Center, where you can pick up your clue sheet and prepare for the full Rocky experience, including his famous run down 9th Street.

Clue stations will be marked by photos from the movie placed in the front windows of select businesses on 9th Street between Washington Avenue and Fitzwater Street. Participants who turn in a correct answer sheet will receive a prize featuring their pick of Rocky swag, including memorabilia, South Philly-themed merchandise, and classic Italian goods.

Whether you’re a local or tourist, looking for family fun, spending time with friends, a fan of the franchise, or simply looking for something to do in the city, this event is perfect for anyone who wants to immerse themselves in the cinematic history of Philadelphia.
