Christmas Village in Philadelphia is an outdoor Holiday market event at the west side of City Hall Philadelphia from Thanksgiving through Christmas Eve which follows the example of a traditional German Christmas Market. Vendors in more than 50 wooden booths and two big tents sell European food, sweets and drinks as well as international seasonal holiday gifts, ornaments and high quality arts and crafts. Thousands of lights at booths and trees integrate the event into the scenery of the illuminated City Hall. The municipal Christmas tree – lighted by Major Nutter in the traditional tree lighting ceremony – as well as our unique Christkindl-Photo wall and the central stage will be attractions during the Holiday season 2011. The central stage will be the place for daily live performances of local choirs, orchestras and bands. On Saturday November 25 the original Nuremberger Christkindl from Germany will open Christmas Village of Philadelphia in a big opening ceremony. The following Saturdays will be highlighted by special events and performances such as German or International Days. Families will especially appreciate visiting us at our Sunday Family days where they can enjoy a nice carousel ride with fresh popcorn, visit the face painter and clowns or tell Santa their wishes in his little house. Christmas Village offers its visitors a unique opportunity for shopping and enjoying European specialties in a Christmassy atmosphere.
