Markets like Christmas Village in Philadelphia make for great places to check names off of holiday shopping lists. And seasonal attractions like Winter in Dilworth Park and Independence Blue Cross RiverRink Winterfest offer wintry oases right in Center City.
The New Year’s Eve Fireworks on the Waterfront typically cap off the holiday season with two free fireworks shows on December 31, followed by the only-in-Philly Mummers Parade, when more than 10,000 costumed marchers strut their stuff on the streets of Philadelphia.
