Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton will hold a rally at the Palestra tomorrow night, her campaign announced today.
The event will begin at 10 p.m. and doors open at 8 p.m. Former President Bill Clinton is also scheduled to appear at the rally, which is free and open to the public.
The event marks a final push for supporters before Pennsylvanians vote in Tuesday’s primary. After campaigning in the Philadelphia region at the end of last week, both Clinton and her opponent, Barack Obama — who held a rally in Philadelphia that attracted a crowd of 35,000 Friday — the two have criss-crossed the state over the weekend. Obama has campaigned by train and Clinton has held a series of rallies.
Update: Chelsea Clinton will also appear at the rally.

any idea about how long the rally will last, and how easy it would be to get out? also, are we prohibited from bringing backpacks and water bottles like at the obama rally friday?

The rally will probably last at least two hours, and actually begins at 10pm, but the doors open at 8pm, which means that they’re expecting a large crowd. I would suggest not taking big bags, food or drinks because the Secret Service will be there beyond a doubt.
