Philadelphia Chinese Lantern Festival-Franklin Square
I was thinking of traveling to Philly this month and seeing the above which is held outdoors at night from 7-11. Is anyone aware of whether CCW is permitted?

Public property? Not court facility or school grounds? How would it not be legal?

Yeah. I was wondering if they had metal detectors. I know I am legal with FFL CCW and my non-resident PA LTC. I figured I would not be going there at night without packing.

My wife and I went last year. There was no checkpoint, and no signage at the gate.

Also, not that I'd put it past Philly, they wouldn't be able to legally restrict you from entering a public park because you have a firearm. This is based on state preemption law.
However they do this for the "secure" area of the Philadelphia Marathon. And it's illegal.
Regardless sounds like you won't have a problem at all.

It's a pretty sure thing that many of the Americans of Chinese decent will also be carrying. That's one community that understands about the 2nd amendment. They don't want to be victimized by the other Philadelphia residents.

Re: Philadelphia Chinese Lantern Festival-Franklin Square
Many forget but the Federal Gun Free School Zone Act is in effect with out of state license to carry. Non-resident is a way around it, I believe.
Further, this is just how I behave, but I don't decide that I want to ensure to carry because an area or time frame (or both) are considered more dangerous. If I think that, then I just don't go. Avoidance is the best. Otherwise, your logic indicates, I think it is likely dangerous so I need to protect myself (which is good). But then you are more likely to face a deadly force scenario. It's like hard cover is good, but any wound that occurs will be a head wound which are usually dangerous or severe. But overall your odds are better as far as getting wounded in the first place. In this example, the trade-off is good.
I try to always carry. You never know when an encounter could occur. And there are times you might stumble into a dangerous area or time without realizing it. You might get lost on a trip or have a breakdown in a bad spot. I am not very familiar with Philly, but what I have seen in a couple of areas in daytime leads me to believe I would not want to be in the same areas at night. I personally would not want to spend dark nights in Philly unless I or an accompanying friend were very familiar with the geography / roads, politics and race / crime / neighborhoods etc.It is you.
