Join new and old friends for a delightful evening of music and tasty treats at the ONA23 Welcome Party at the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown.

The party will start with a Sip and See reception in Franklin Hall (4th Floor), home of the ONA23 Midway. Enjoy drinks and light appetizers as you catch up with other attendees. Plus, experience the uniquely Philly sounds of Brassanity Hornz Band.

The evening will continue in the Grand Ballroom (Fifth Floor) with a tour of the flavors of Philadelphia, from South Philly-style Italian hoagies to West Philly’s Caribbean bites.

We’re thrilled to present music from THE FRIDGE, a collective of local musicians within the SNACKTIME musical group.

We’ll also have a 360-degree photo booth – the perfect place to take your official #ONA23 photo!

All ONA23 attendees are welcome at this two-level event!
