Sylvester Stallone visits Philadelphia for inaugural 'Rocky Day'
Fans crowded the Art Museum to celebrate Philadelphia's first-ever "Rocky Day" with the man himself, Sylvester Stallone.
PHILADELPHIA - Yo, Philly! We did it! Rocky officially has his own holiday - and the city couldn't be more excited.
Hundreds gathered at the steps of the Art Museum over the weekend. Not an unusual site for Rocky fans, however, this time the man himself was there too!
Sylvester Stallone made his way back to the city where it all started as Philadelphia declared December 3 as "Rocky Day."
Sunday marked the 47th anniversary of the original "Rocky" movie's 1976 release, and Stallone stopped by to celebrate the milestone.

It was a day filled with love, smiles and, most of all, empowerment!
