Iconic LOVE sculpture, fountain, and holiday market
"A central public square that transforms into a festive holiday market each winter, modeled on traditional German Christmas villages and filled with craft stalls and seasonal food vendors." - Regan Stephens Regan Stephens Regan Stephens is an award-winning freelance writer living in Philadelphia.

"Along with the Liberty Bell and Rocky steps, the bright red LOVE sculpture is one of Philly’s most iconic images. LOVE Park is officially named JFK Plaza, but no one calls it that. The plaza sits at the front of the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, which leads to the Museum of Art. LOVE Park, with its famous sculpture and fountain, is a popular place for anyone to sit and hang out in the heart of Center City." - MATADOR_NETWORK

"Turney and Safran are working on Loveluck, an indoor/outdoor eatery in LOVE Park (officially John F. Kennedy Plaza) that will occupy the mid-century modern, UFO-shaped Fairmount Park Welcome Center building; the building has been closed for a few years for an extensive renovation that is part of the park’s larger renovation that began in early 2016. According to the Fairmount Park Conservancy website, the restaurant will have about 50–55 seats inside and roughly 135 seats on a balcony and an adjoining park-level terrace." - Rachel Vigoda
