Running for its 18th season, Christmas Village in Philadelphia will transform LOVE Park and City Hall’s Courtyard and North Broad section into an authentic German Christmas Market. The event is at no charge to attend and will run from November 22 through Christmas Eve, December 24, 2025. Over 120 vendors offer their unique Christmas-giftware and delicious European food specialties! Always a must-see: the famous German vendor Käthe Wohlfahrt, which features authentic German ornaments and Christmas gifts. 

2025 Highlights

• 35’ Tall Glühwein Pyramid: Brand new center piece will make its debut in 2025! Custom made in Germany, this wooden, carousel-like tower will be adorned with 3,000 lights. Three festive wine flavors by Pennsylvania’s very own Mazza Wines will be served.

• Festival of Trees: Returning for its third year in partnership with CHOP, this festive fundraiser at the LOVE Park Welcome Center features beautifully decorated trees for a great cause.

• Kids Entertainment: Historic double tier carousel and 65’ Ferris Wheel will invite young and old to take a spin. Little ones can also hop aboard our festive Kids Train for a cheerful ride.

• Meet Santa: Get your holiday photos with Santa at the former LOVE Park Welcome Center, also known as “flying saucer” and families are encouraged to bring their wish list!

• Shopping: 120 vendors from near and far will cover a total of 3 city blocks and will offer their unique giftware in the shadow of Philadelphia’s iconic City Hall 

• Authentic European Cuisine: Well known European food options include Bratwurst, Raclette Cheese, Strudel, Schnitzel, Spätzle, Belgian Fries, and much more!
