Philadelphia has a plethora of holiday traditions—and one of those traditions entails turning into a European wonderland during the annual Christmas Village!
Here’s the scoop: From November 24 to December 24, City Hall’s surroundings will be transformed into a Winter Wonderland as more than 80 vendors set up shop in dozens of wooden booths and two large tents. Of course, the most notable of vendors will be the massive Kathe Wohlfahrt gift tent. It’s the perfect spot to pick up that missing piece to your Christmas tree decorations or to find that perfect holiday gift. Who knows? Maybe they’ll have some ugly Christmas sweaters you could wear to your company party.
Oh yeah—don’t be surprised if you see local bands and dance groups serenading passersby! To get a glimpse of what to expect, check out the video below or visit the Christmas Village website here.
Sound like your cup of tea? Welp, if you need a convenient parking spot while you get into the holiday spirit, our Family Courthouse Garage and Gateway Parking Garage are within minutes of all the hubbub. And as always, feel free to pay for an on-street parking spot with our mobile payment app, meterUP.
By the way, make sure you check out the holiday parking specials we’re offering from Thanksgiving through New Year’s Day. Take a look here.
Happy Holidays, Philly!
