Philly Portal moves to City Hall on Monday with parade, police escort

PHILADELPHIA - The Portal has officially moved, but don't worry, it's still in Philadelphia!

What we know:

Philly's ‘Portal to the World’ arrived at its new home on Monday - the City Hall Courtyard.

Its journey began Monday morning from the current LOVE Park location with a police escort and celebratory parade along the Ben Franklin Parkway.

After a brief stop at the Art Museum steps, the Portal was reinstalled on the west side of City Hall, and was expected to go live again by lunchtime.

What we don't know:

The Portal will stay in Philadelphia for two more years to celebrate America's 250th birthday in July 2026.

However, officials have yet to say if it will remain at City Hall, or if it will move to new locations throughout the city.

Dig deeper:

This most recent move comes after the Portal sustained ongoing vandalism, damage and theft at its first home in LOVE Park.

It was taken offline back in January while undergoing repairs, but was powered back on last month.
