Now in its seventh year, the Christmas Village in Philadelphia has grown into one of the region’s most unique and charming holiday attractions – offering visitors the opportunity to purchase high-quality, international and local gifts and decorations. Visitors will also get to enjoy warm mulled wine and hot cocoa while gazing at the LOVE Park Christmas tree and listening to live music.

This year the Christmas Village is expected to attract more than 550,000 people. There will be sixty-five international and local merchants and artists on-site with toys, apparel, jewelry, decorations, homegoods, artwork and more. In addition, visitors will be able to order off a full menu of European food – everything from sweets and drinks to mouthwatering German bratwurst or schnitzel. And new to this year’s menu is Döner Kebab (a German specialty featuring fresh meat shaved right off the rotisserie spit, placed in a warm pita pocket with tomato, onion, and our delicious homemade sauce).

On top of the great shopping and dining experiences, there will be a Wish Wall in conjunction with the Make-a-Wish Foundation, a new kid’s zone on the weekends, theme days and weekends, tasting tours with Chaddsford Winery, live music during evenings and weekends, and other surprises to be announced.

The Christmas Village previews on Thanksgiving Day (9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.) and Black Friday (11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.).

Daily market hours starting Black Friday through the last Sunday in December will be:

Friday through Saturday – 11:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.

Sunday through Thursday – 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.

Christmas Eve – 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Closed on Christmas Day

There will be a Grand Opening Ceremony on Saturday, November 29, from 4:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.  Invite your family and friends to come sing-a-long to holiday selections by local choirs, marching bands and other entertainers. Meet the original Christkind from Nuremberg after she officially opens the market by reciting her traditional prologue and rings in the official lighting ceremony of the Chritmas Village Fountain.

Vendor lists, food and drink menus, theme weekends, special event details and special promotions will be released soon. For more information, click here.
