There was a kickoff at FDR Park, where peopled painted their bodies for the event.
One participant traveled to Philadelphia for the ride from Virginia.
"A lot of people don't understand social nudity. It's nice to be near people who want to freely express themselves. We come out to enjoy the city for the weekend," Douglas Anderson said.

Usually the event takes place in September, but organizers moved it up to August for warmer temperatures.
