Christmas Village Philadelphia prepares something enchanting for the upcoming holiday season! Bring your family because the joy is guaranteed!

This German-styled market first opened in 2008. Today, Christmas Village Philadelphia attracts tens of thousands of visitors yearly and is one the largest Christmas markets in the region!

The market takes place in Center City Philadelphia, more precisely at LOVE Park and City Hall. It lasts from November 23 to December 24, so you can enjoy Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Eve and get in the holiday spirit for New Year!

Pack your bags and plan your trip to Philadelphia to enjoy the beautiful atmosphere!

What to Expect When Attending Christmas Village Philadelphia 2024

Expect a lot of fun and quality time for the whole family at a gorgeously decorated market. Lights will illuminate the dark evenings, and a grand Christmas tree will be displayed!

Delight your taste buds with the Christmas Village specialties! Many food vendors will serve delicacies, such as German bratwurst, Belgian fries, schnitzel, raclette, and Lebkuchen (German gingerbread cookies). After that, you can have a sweet treat or two! Crepes, waffles, or strudels are a great choice! 

Warm up during chilly weather with hot chocolate, Glühwein (mulled wine), or hot cider. Vegan offerings will be available at Vegan Wurst Wednesdays, where you can try vegan bratwurst. Enjoy a mix of beer or spiked drinks to refresh your stroll through LOVE Park.

The Christmas Village is a perfect place for holiday shopping! Charming wooden booths will offer different gifts you could get, such as handmade ornaments, high-quality arts and crafts, toys, and jewelry.

The Christmas Village in Philadelphia will be full of attractions for both adults and youngsters. The double-decker carousel, conveniently located in the middle of City Hall Courtyard, will bring lots of fun, along with a romantic 65-foot-high Ferris Wheel at the North Broad Section. Children will be able to visit Santa Claus, ride on the kids' train, and take photos with the market's mascot—Phil the Reindeer!

All of this will be followed with live music, making your holiday season even more festive!

The weather will be chilly. Daytime highs will be around 44°F (6.7°C), with nighttime lows dropping to about 33°F (0.5°C). Wear something warm and layered and have fun!

The event is free to attend! However, bringing cash to buy gifts and enjoy food, drinks, and many activities is a good idea.
