Women’s Way Wednesdays 2025 Celebrates Women in Hospitality

As Women’s History Month approaches, Philadelphia is gearing up for one of its most empowering and flavorful celebrations—Women’s Way Wednesdays 2025. Now in its third year, this vibrant weekly pop-up event returns to Stratus Rooftop Lounge at Kimpton Hotel Monaco, showcasing the incredible talent of women-owned and operated food, beverage, and music businesses in the Philadelphia region. Teaming up with Sisterly Love Collective, the event series will also benefit Women’s Way, the leading nonprofit dedicated to advancing women, girls, and gender and racial equity. This culinary and cultural experience runs every Wednesday in March, with a grand finale on March 26.

The Women’s Way Wednesdays 2025 kickoff happens on March 5, featuring Chef Karla Torres of La Ingrata, who will bring her masterful fusion of flavors to the event. Guests can indulge in specially curated hors d’oeuvres, and sip on pay-as-you-go craft cocktails, wines, and beers from Philadelphia Brewing Company, Attic Brewing, and Love City Brewing, all while enjoying a live set by DJ Miss Kensington.

Following the launch, each Wednesday will introduce a different guest chef, bringing their distinct culinary styles to the celebration. Vee To of Ogawa Sushi & Kappo alongside Master Chef Minoru Ogawa will take over on March 12, while Chef Amaryllis Rivera Nassar of Amy’s Pastelillos will showcase her talent on March 19. The musical energy continues with performances from DJ Miss Kensington and Suede Lace throughout the series.

The grand finale on March 26 will transform Stratus Rooftop Lounge into an all-encompassing cocktail soirée led by Sisterly Love Collective. This final event will feature small bites from a stellar lineup of renowned women chefs, including Natalia Lepore Hagan (Midnight Pasta), Lisa Calvo (Sweet Amalia Oysters), Angie Brown (Rex at The Royal), Mona Wilson (It’s A CupCake!), Carolyn Nguyen (Revolution Taco), Cassandra Burnett (Lizzie’s Love Cakes), and Ann Karlen (Third Wheel Cheese).

Adding to the experience, Mist and Vapor pavilions at Stratus will host elevated beverage pairings, including wine tastings by Pray Tell Wines, JLOHR Vineyards, Famille Perrin, and Marques de Caceres, along with rum tastings by Sofia Deleon of Tenango Rum.

Women’s Way Wednesdays 2025 goes beyond the indulgence of fine food and drinks—it serves as a platform to uplift and support women in the hospitality industry. Profits from ticket sales will directly benefit Women’s Way and Sisterly Love Collective, strengthening their mission to empower women through mentorship, networking, and community support. Additionally, $1 from every wine featured on Red Owl Tavern’s Women in Wine menu and from select cocktails at Stratus Rooftop Lounge will be donated to Sisterly Love Collective.

Tickets for the March 26 finale are $75 per person, all-inclusive, featuring two beverage tickets and complimentary wine and beer tastings. The first three Wednesdays (March 5, 12, and 19) are priced at $35 per person, including an exclusive selection of small bites and a complimentary cocktail. Guests can also purchase an all-access pass for all four events for $145. Tickets are required for entry and can be secured HERE.
