During the day, delegates to the Democratic National Convention spend much of the day in caucuses at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in downtown Philadelphia. In addition to the meetings rooms, convention-goers can stop by a fun zone called the Political Fest and learn presidential history. At the Wells Fargo Arena, where the prime-time events are held, convention staff and journalists are busy up until the delegates arrive.
