Welcome to the 98th annual Rittenhouse Square Flower Market of the RITTENHOUSE SQUARE FLOWER MARKET FOR CHILDREN’S CHARITIES (RSFMCC). The organization hosts its signature French flower market in Philadelphia’s Rittenhouse Square, for the benefit of four annually-changing children’s health and welfare service organizations, as well as for the maintenance of the Square.
This year, the Flower Market will be dedicated to a celebration of Mothers (and Fathers, Grandparents, etc.) and Children, and will be held Wednesday, May 9th and Thursday, May 10th, from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., during the week immediately preceding and as a tribute to Mother’s Day.
Another major recent addition to the Market is the “Childrens’ Resource Center” section of the Market, where we’re making space available to other notable, worthy charities providing services, education and recreation to at-risk children in the Philadelphia area. These charities will be showcased starting at the goat coner of the Square. Come get to know these charities and learn what they’re doing to improve childrens’ lives.
