John Carroll Weekend is returning to Philadelphia for the first time in over 20 years!

Independence Hall. The Liberty Bell. Cheesesteaks and Rocky Balboa. Join the Georgetown community from April 3 to 6, 2025 to experience the City of Brotherly Love and birthplace of the United States through specially curated excursions, thought-provoking conversations, and memorable social gatherings.

Alumni, university leaders, renowned faculty, and friends of the university will spend four days together exploring a city steeped in American history with a renowned culinary playground, legendary sports culture, and vibrant arts and music scene.

This year, we’ll have two host hotels: The Four Seasons Hotel Philadelphia at Comcast Center and The Logan Philadelphia, Curio Collection by Hilton. We’re excited to host you in these two magnificent locations for John Carroll Weekend Philadelphia.

At John Carroll Weekend Philadelphia, we will celebrate the 2025 John Carroll and Patrick Healy awardees.
