Best Christmas markets in Philadelphia

  • Shopping
  • Markets and fairs

Load up all season (and even a little beyond) with distinctive creations from area artisans, designers and confectioners in the shadow of City Hall. The market is happening in conjunction with Wintergarden at Dilworth Park, which features the Rothman Institute Ice Rink and America’s Capital Garden Maze and the Rothman Cabin, where you’ll find boozy (or not) seaonal drinks.

  • Things to do
  • Festivals

Philadelphia’s LOVE Park reopens for one month to host this 10th annual German-inspired holiday market. You’ll find plenty of reasons to prioritize a trip here—whether you want to shop for gifts in the cute little huts full of international and locally made wares, ogle at the thousands of holiday lights or get all nostalgic—and plastered—under the 40-foot Christmas tree with a cup of mulled wine in hand.
