Yo, Adrian, Philly finally did it!
The city Rocky called home (at last) has a week dedicated to the box office heavyweight champion of the world a year after the inaugural Rocky Day was held with Sylvester Stallone in attendance at the Philadelphia Museum of Art steps.
It's Rocky, so of course, there's a sequel.
This year, it's RockyFest.
The Rocky Bus Tour served as Round 1 over the weekend before the festival truly laced up its gloves for Tuesday's opening event on Dec. 3, the 1976 release date of "Rocky" with area elementary school students running the Rocky steps.
A second cast of the Rocky statue was unveiled Tuesday at the top of the Rocky steps where the original was featured in "Rocky III" and will remain there through Dec. 31.
"This statue represents everything that the Rocky films stand for resilience, heart, and the unbreakable bond between Rocky and the people of Philadelphia," Stallone said in a statement.
