South Philadelphians like to decorate for everything, and Graduation is no exception! Our block celebrated 4 Graduations this June.
There was Jordan
My next door neighbors had 2 Graduates to celebrate
Another High School Graduate a few doors away
There were many Graduation Parties, including ours, this month. I was much too busy to take pictures at our house party (note to self: hire servers next time!). My next door neighbors had an old fashioned block party to celebrate their two Graduates. It was a blast. I have never seen my street without cars parked on both sides. All cars had to be off the street from 4:00 p.m. til midnight (for once, Jordan had a choice of parking spots when he returned from another party at 12:30 a.m.). A huge tent went up in the middle of the street.
Plenty of Beer & Wine flowed all night for the Adults
There was plenty of food to feed the 100+ guests and they were Dancing in the Street ,late into the night! The DJ was under the Blue Tent on the sidewalk.
A good time was had by all - even the few neighbors who grumbled about having to move their cars!

What a wonderful tradition to decorate the windows like that! I think it looks so cool. And the street party does sound like a blast!
