Although the nickname had been floating around for a couple of years beforehand, N3rd Street became official last year. On 3rd Street in between Girard and Market, it’s home to a large number of Philly’s tech businesses. It’s about that time again of the year again, and N3rd Street is ready to celebrate their first year as a city-approved designation.

The N3rd Street Birthday Party is taking place in Liberty Lands Park from 2-6 PM on October 2. The free event features food, art and music and will serve as a fundraiser for N3rd Street’s future endeavors. The event is being sponsored by  Jarvus, Code for Philly, Bamboowifi, CandiDate, N3rd Street Gamers, N3rd Street Farmers Market and SeventySix Capital.
