*Please note that this giveaway is now closed.*

There’s nothing quite like riding the El through West Philly—looking out the window, it slowly dawns on you that the old-school painted ads scattered along the train route are…not actually ads? Steve Powers’ 2010 mural series quickly became a Philadelphia favorite, and we get it. This Valentine’s Day, we’re helping you out with a giveaway, so you can share this experience with your favorite person on one of our Love Letter train tours, 100% free.

Open your eyes and see the sunrise! Head over to our Facebook or Instagram, and tag your love with your favorite memory of them. Your comment will be entered into a random drawing, and four winners will be selected to win a pair of Love Letter tour tickets.

The giveaway runs from Monday, January 29, 2018 to Wednesday, January 31, 2018, so share the love to win! Please see below for official rules, terms, and conditions.
