The streets of Philadelphia were awash with a sea of green and white as fans came together to celebrate the Philadelphia Eagles' Super Bowl 59 victory this Valentine's Day. Crowds reportedly swelled to a million or more as the city took part in a victory parade that cut through South Philadelphia, navigated Center City, and culminated around the Philadelphia Museum of Art. According to a report by the Philadelphia City Council, the parade's route started at Broad Street and Pattison Avenue and wound to an approximate 3:15 p.m. finish.

The celebration was not confined solely to the streets; it extended into the chambers of governmental power. City Council was fully supported, with its chambers adorned with Eagles signage. Philadelphia City Council President Kenyatta Johnson and Councilmember Jeffery Young, Jr. proposed resolutions lauding the Eagles and their Super Bowl MVP Jalen Hurts. "I want to congratulate the Philadelphia Eagles on winning Super Bowl 59," Johnson said, per the Philadelphia City Council. "Eagles teams always mirror the grit, passion and resilience of its fans throughout Philadelphia and the entire Delaware Valley." The unanimous support in Council Chambers stood as a testament to the team's significant imprint on the city's identity.

This week focused on sports achievements, community progress, and honoring past leaders. The council passed several resolutions, including one by Councilmember Mark Squilla to recognize Emma Chappell, who founded Philadelphia's first Black woman-operated bank. Another resolution, introduced by Councilmember Rue Landau, urged Congress to expand the Child Tax Credit to reduce child poverty. The council also promised to explore the effectiveness of affordable housing efforts further, as discussed in a hearing led by Councilmember Jamie Gauthier.
