The city will be hosting a party in Chinatown this Friday to celebrate the start of this year’s Olympic games, according to an article on KYW1060.com.

There will be two blocks shut down on 10th between Arch and Race Streets on Friday for the celebration.

“It was so obvious to do this in Chinatown and the Chinatown community has been great.  They’ve really embraced us and it’s a great way for them to promote the Chinese culture as well as their homeland hosting the biggest sporting event in the world, the Olympic games, ” Jessica Meyers, with the Philadelphia Sports Congress, said.

There will be games and food from 5:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. The event is going to focus both on Olympic sports and on Chinese culture and tradition.

This is the last bit of olympic activity by the city, who had Drexel host the table tennis try-outs and itself hosted gymnastics and a U.S. bersus Puerto Rico boxing event.
