LOVE Park is gorgeous during the holidays.
Dates:
November 21 – 22, 2015
November 26 – December 27, 2015
Philadelphia will once again transform into a European wonderland for the annual Christmas Village at Love Park.
Modeled after traditional European open-air Christmas markets, Christmas Village in Philadelphia is a daily an outdoor holiday market located in Love Park, right in the heart of Center City.
And for the first time, the market will make its debut the weekend before Thanksgiving on Saturday, November 21 and Sunday, November 22.
Shoppers can expect more than 60 vendors in more than 90 wooden booths, along with two large tents, all offering a wide range of international holiday gifts, ornaments, jewelry, toys and high-quality arts and crafts.
But Christmas Village is more than just an outdoor shopping center. Love Park gets bedecked with thousands of lights, a giant Christmas tree in the center, as well as frequent performances and special events. Plus, it’s adjacent to the Rothman Ice Rink at Dilworth Park, making the two parks holiday happening central in Center City.
New For 2015
In addition to the new-this-year preview weekend shopping dates, other embellishments to market experience include brand-new lights — Herrnhut or Moravian Stars — all over the park, a relocation for Santa’s hut to a more central spot, new vendors and and more food.
This year, too, guests can arrive not only to shop the market, but also to hang out in a new food-and-wine garden behind the Fairmount Park Welcome Center at Love Park.
