PHILADELPHIA — March 20, 2023 — Few sandwiches are as bold and vibrant as the city they come from—besides the Philly Cheesesteak. Fewer still are worthy of a weeklong tribute.
National Cheesesteak Day is Friday, March 24. Again this year, Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) is celebrating National Cheesesteak Day all week long, from March 20 to March 24, with giveaways, exclusive deals — and of course, cheesesteaks. Travelers can enjoy Philly’s favorite sandwich, among other cheesesteak-inspired items, at 12 restaurants throughout the airport.
Then on National Cheesesteak Day itself, Friday, March 24, samples of cheesesteaks along with Pepsi Zero Sugar, prizes and other surprises are all planned for PHL travelers. This “Finale Celebration” will be hosted by Lauren Rei with Wooder Ice and features a live DJ from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the stage between terminals B and C. Free samples will be provided by Pepsi as well as four renowned PHL Food & Shops eateries.
“We’re excited to celebrate National Cheesesteak Week at PHL Food & Shops,” said Mel Hannah, Vice President and General Manager of MarketPlace PHL. “Everyone will enjoy the festivities, plus one lucky traveler will win free cheesesteaks and Pepsi Zero Sugar for a year.”
Travelers flying in or out of Philly March 20 to March 24 may want to arrive hungry to PHL … but they certainly won’t leave that way. Below is a list of Cheesesteak Week events and promos:
