More than 120 rustic wooden vendor booths festooned with fragrant pine garland and Moravian stars showcase European glass ornaments, handcrafted wooden nutcrackers, artisan jewelry, and international gifts from local and global craftspeople. Children will love the illuminated double-decker carousel spinning inside City Hall's courtyard, the 65-foot illuminated Ferris wheel overlooking LOVE Park, and the miniature holiday kids' train. Savory aromas fill the air with sizzling German bratwurst, fresh potato pancakes (Reibekuchen), Belgian waffles, and sweet hot chocolate (with hot Glühwein for adults). Wide paved pathways easily accommodate strollers, and SEPTA Suburban Station is located directly below. ## Similar picks in Philadelphia - [Christmas Village in Philadelphia (LOVE Park Thanksgiving Opening)](https://grassyknees.com/philadelphia/activities/christmas-village-in-philadelphia-love-park-thanksgiving-opening--listing-009202d79df6e241f8c2d15a) — Nov 26 – Nov 29 · 9:00 AM – 8:00 PM · LOVE Park (JFK Plaza) & City Hall · All ages · Free · checked Nov 7.
