Christmas Village in Philadelphia (LOVE Park Thanksgiving Opening)

About this adventure

Modeling traditional outdoor German Christkindlmarkts, Christmas Village in Philadelphia opens on Thanksgiving Day right in LOVE Park and the City Hall Courtyard, welcoming parade spectators directly from the Parkway procession. Over 110 charming wooden vendor booths with candy-cane-striped roofs showcase imported handcrafted holiday ornaments, wooden nutcrackers, warm sheepskin mittens, and handmade toys. Families can stroll through twinkling holiday lights while sampling authentic Bavarian bratwurst, warm soft pretzels, potato pancakes with applesauce, and Belgian waffles drizzled with chocolate. Kids can ride the historic European double-decker carousel inside City Hall Courtyard, take photos beside the 65-foot City of Philadelphia holiday tree, and meet Phil the Christmas Village gingerbread mascot.
