Christmas Village will return to Love Park in Center City next month for its 16th year, featuring new hours, new lights and a few surprises.

The market will begin with a special preview weekend on November 18 and 19, with an official seasonal opening November 23. It will continue through December 24.

Over 120 vendors will be open from 12:00pm to 8:00pm Sunday through Thursday and until 9:00pm on Fridays and Saturdays.

The event has become one of the region’s largest holiday attractions and a draw for both locals and tourists, with around 900,000 visitors in 2022, according to the The Philadelphia Business Journal. New this year will be “authentic European-style lights on the wooden vendor booths” and “rides such as a Ferris wheel, kids train and a double-decker carousel.”

Vegan Wurst Wednesdays are new to the scene this year as well.
