Looking for holiday spirit? You’re in the right place, my festive friend. Philly knows a little something about Christmas magic and Yuletide cheer.
From the waterfront to the countryside, Philadelphia offers holiday happenings and seasonal celebrations from November through December.
The city and region certainly have no shortage of fairy lights and evergreens, as dazzling light displays set the region aglow each year. Just beyond the city limits, explore a golf course-turned-winter wonderland at Yuletide at Liberty Hill.
Or hop into a charming wagon and watch Christmas carols, characters, and more come to life at the Holiday Light Show at Shady Brook Farm.
Even the Philadelphia Zoo and Elmwood Park Zoo get the holiday treatment with their LumiNature and Wild Lights displays.
And, for those in the giving spirit, holiday shopping abounds at winter markets like the Christmas Village at LOVE Park.
