    For generations of Philadelphians, it’s just not the holidays without a trip to the Wanamaker Building (the site of America’s very first department store) and, most recently, Macy’s Center City flagship.


    And despite the recent closure of Macy’s, the show must go on.

    For over 50 years, dancing snowflakes, snowmen and reindeer — brought to life by hundreds of thousands of twinkling lights and a festive soundtrack backed by the world-famous Wanamaker Organ — have brightened the days of holiday revelers during the Wanamaker Light Show (formerly the Macy’s Light Show).

    Upstairs, Dickens Village — a 6,000-square-foot animatronic retelling of A Christmas Carol — has sparked major levels of holiday-induced nostalgia and warmed even the Scroogiest of hearts.

    The beloved family traditions return to their longtime home — with some sparkly new additions — from Black Friday, November 28, 2025 to Christmas Eve, December 24, 2025.
