It’s time to deck the halls, do your holiday gift shopping, and celebrate the season. No matter who’s on your gift list, you’re sure to find something special and one-of-a-kind at the many Philly holiday markets around town.

Shop Festive Holiday Markets in Philly This Season

While some markets are just for the day, others bring a whole month of merriness! And even if you don’t have much shopping to do, they are the perfect places to check out our local arts scene, enjoy some holiday treats, and spend time with family. Here are our favorites: at the top are the markets that run for several weeks, then below you’ll find our calendar listings for the “pop-up” events.

Christmas Village

November 22 to December 24, hours vary
City Hall and LOVE Park, 1500 Arch Street

To call this just a holiday market is a great injustice, because this is basically a month of holiday cheer in the middle of Philadelphia. Modeled after the traditional Christmas Markets in Germany, this annual market features over 80 vendors in wooden booths selling authentic European food, ornaments, crafts, clothing, and more from all over the world.

In addition to the amazing assortment of wares, there are festive events all month long including live music, storytimes, wine tastings, and even visits with Santa! Something new to look out for this year is a German pyramid in the middle of the village. They also have great food, from waffles to mulled wine (Pro tip: buy the commemorative mug for discount refills, you won’t be sorry).
