Great news, Philadelphia! Christmas Village is back, spreading festive cheer in LOVE Park from November 22 through December 24, 2025! This beloved open-air holiday market transforms the heart of the city with charming wooden huts offering ornaments, handmade gifts, artisanal treats, jewelry, and one-of-a-kind crafts.

This Christmas Village Market grant program, administered by the Department of Commerce, led to successful holiday sales for participating vendors, and some even expanded by opening a storefront in Philadelphia such as Cafe Duskaia, Amy’s Pastelillos, and Global Craft Market.
