Once again Philly’s Christmas Village has transformed LOVE Park in Center City into a traditional German Christmas Market. Running now through Sunday, December 27, the Christmas Village is bringing the spirit of the Holiday season to our great city.
The outside Holiday market, located on the west side of City Hall, is modeled after the traditional Christmas Markets in Germany. Vendors in more than 60 wooden booths are selling traditional European food, sweets, and drinks. They are also offering a great shopping experience with international holiday gifts, ornaments, jewelry, and high-quality arts and crafts.
The unique atmosphere with thousands of lights, the big Holiday Tree, the delicious smell of waffles, gingerbread, bratwurst and mulled wine is a great way to get into the perfect Christmas mood.
