For the 2026 Wawa Welcome America Festival, OPE partnered with sponsor IBX to create a vibrant, garden-inspired activation providing shade for festival goers built for connection, community, and fresh food. Our team brought every space of the activation to life from concept through ex*****on, leading the creative direction, fabrication, installation, site logistics, and onsite operations.
We also partnered with Sharing Excess to create a dedicated space for distributing fresh produce, while our brand ambassadors welcomed guests and kept the activation moving throughout the festival. Sharing Excess rescues edible surplus from food businesses and redistributes it to local hunger relief organizations.
Going 4 years strong in creating a colorful, inviting experience designed to stand out all across the city in one of Philadelphia’s biggest celebrations.
