Glide around the free NHL-sized ice skating rink (tickets required). Enjoy pay-as-you-go games and amusement rides on the boardwalk. Or indulge in seasonal treats and hot drinks around firepits at the rinkside lounge or from inside a cozy warming cabin or heated igloo.

Fantastic light displays viewable here include the thousands of sparkling string lights wrapping the festival’s signature holiday tree, which springs to life for the first time during the Holiday Tree Lighting ceremony on December 5, 2025.

Just because holiday celebrations are underway doesn’t mean the last haunted and fall festivals should escape your family calendar.

Catch the final vestiges of fall foliage, harvest hayrides and farm markets at spots like Pumpkinland at Linvilla Orchards and the Corn Maze at Chester County’s Lytle’s Farm, plus Adventure Farm at Doylestown’s Hellerick’s Family Farm (which remains open all month).

Or keep spooky szn going with the last scares at area haunted houses like Chester County’s Pennhurst Asylum, Bates Motel in Delco and Halloween Nights at Eastern State Penitentiary.

You don’t have to wait for December to get into the holiday spirit, as scores of winter events get underway in November.

Philly’s two favorite holiday markets — Christmas Village in Philadelphia at LOVE Park and City Hall and Made in Philadelphia Holiday Market, part of Winter at Dilworth Park — open the season for early gift list shoppers.

Plenty more festive fun kicks off in November like A Very Furry Christmas at Sesame Place, the twinkling lights of LumiNature at the Philadelphia Zoo and A Longwood Christmas’ spectacular fountain shows at Longwood Gardens.

We’re full of gratitude in Philly come Thanksgiving. The annual 6abc Dunkin’ Thanksgiving Day Parade, the oldest in the country dating back to 1920, features massive floats, towering balloons, marching bands and more (plus Santa!) promenading down the Benjamin Franklin Parkway.

And there’s no need to spend the day cooking; instead leave the cooking to the pros at the annual Cock ‘n Bull Thanksgiving Dinner at Peddler’s Village or with special turkey day menus at spots like Urban Farmer or Bank & Bourbon.

Fall menus at local restaurants are more than turkey, stuffing and cranberry sauce.

Across Philadelphia, many of the city’s top restaurants switch to cozy, seasonal menus during November, sprinkling cartes du jour with warm, hearty selections crafted from autumnal ingredients like root vegetables and squashes.

Check out the freshest of fall farm dishes at city restaurants, including Northern Liberties’ Pietramala, Miles Table on South Street, Forsythia in Old City and Fishtown’s Suraya, or in the countryside at New Hope’s Sprig & Vine, The Perk in Perkasie and Pipersville’s historic Piper Tavern.

If you enjoy partaking in the vino and love autumn, what better way to spend the remaining days of fall than a weekend excursion to a local winery or vineyard?

Slip on that flannel jacket and enjoy incredible atmospheres, crisp fall air, final foliage views and seasonal flavors as the region’s wine farms transition into winter.

Experience seasonal tastings, mulled wine selections, firepits and heat lamps at fantastic fall-tasting retreats like Chaddsford Winery, Newtown’s Crossing Vineyards & Winery, Penns Woods Winery in Delaware County or Blue Bell’s Karamoor Estate Vineyard & Winery.

If caffeine is more your speed, grab yourself a pumpkin spice latte, maple macchiato or just a good ol’ cup of joe as iced coffee season transitions into warm mug fall.

During November, sit and sip bundled up on an outdoor café patio or huddle inside a cozy indoor nook at coffeehouses like Old City staple Menagerie Coffee, Center City’s Cafe Square One, Vernick Coffee Bar in the Comcast Technology Center, a foursome of Elixr Coffee Roasters spots or one of O.G. La Colombe’s five area locations.

The leaves may have fallen and a chill may permeate the air, but those are actually great reasons to hit up parks and green spaces across Philly for hiking and biking before winter’s chill arrives.

The hundreds of miles of trails throughout Philadelphia’s parks are open, safe and waiting to be explored on foot or by bicycle.

Some perfect locales include Forbidden Drive and the Wissahickon Creek trails of Wissahickon Valley Park, the uncrowded offseason paths throughout Pennypack Park and the brisk views from up on Fairmount Park’s Belmont Plateau.

The first half of the season is where mettle is tested, new stars emerge and schedules harden.

That’s the intense action of November at the South Philadelphia Sports Complex. The grind is just starting for 76ers basketball and Flyers hockey, players performing under the echoes of hardcourt legends Julius Erving and Joel Embiid and icemen like Bobby Clarke and Claude Giroux during key fall matchups at Xfinity Mobile Arena.

Meanwhile across the street at Lincoln Financial Field, Eagles football is hitting the season’s midpoint and the playoff (tush) push kicks into high gear.

Fall chill comes to Philly in November, but winter’s cold remains weeks away.

Daytime high temperatures average a brisk 56 degrees Fahrenheit with overnight lows at 39 degrees. In the first month of Standard Time, the sun shines just over five hours per day, with around 10 days experiencing some rain.

November-accumulated snow is rare, averaging under a quarter-inch for the month, though the city did receive almost nine inches from a 2012 storm. The November high temperature record is 84 degrees, set in 1950, with a lowest high temperature of 29 degrees as recently as 2000.

Warm, rustic, rich, nutty, golden, delicious. These are the flavors of fall and there’s nowhere like Philly to grab a bite.

Hit up harvest fresh, farm-to-table restaurants across the region to experience the taste of autumn with Thanksgiving-inspired menus from five-course extravaganzas to the famous Wawa Gobbler, roasted chestnuts from street vendors in spots like Rittenhouse Square and, of course, pumpkin-flavored everything like pies at bakeries like Termini Brothers and beers at local breweries.

Whether your holiday shopping list is long or you’re picking up fun stuff for yourself, there’s no time like the present to find the perfect … present.

Head to dual City Hall-area gift markets Christmas Village in Philadelphia and Made in Philadelphia Holiday Market, both popping back up in November.

Up in Bucks County, Peddler’s Village turns charming and festive for the holiday season and offers extended store hours.

Or just stroll some of Philly’s best seasonally decorated shopping districts like Chestnut Hill, Manayunk, Rittenhouse Row, East Passyunk Avenue and Suburban Square.

The word for the November sports scene in Philly is anticipation. At Xfinity Mobile Arena, the 76ers and Flyers are into their season’s first halves, with eyes on hopeful postseason runs.

Over at Lincoln Financial Field, the Eagles kick off the second half as every game becomes crucial for playoff positioning.

Meanwhile, collegiate athletics shine during that wonderful overlap of college football and basketball seasons. But the winner is you, the fan, who gets to take in the action with friends and family, yummy stadium food, cheers and boos and, of course, Gritty.

Yes, November is a key month for international and multicultural celebrations around Philadelphia, highlighted by dual film festivals.

The Philadelphia Asian American Film Festival celebrates stories of Asians and Pacific Islanders and the Philadelphia Jewish Film + Media Fall Fest showcases productions from diverse creators at multiple venues, including the Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish History.

Plus, don’t miss the Día de los Muertos Celebration & Procession at Fleisher Art Memorial, as well as events around the city honoring National Native American Heritage Month and Transgender Awareness Week.

If everything here hasn’t convinced you just how jam-packed Philly is for fun, exciting and belly-filling events in November, come experience for yourself.

Tucked neatly in between the end of haunted house and harvest festival season and the rush of the holiday season, November is a great (and busy) time to visit Philly before wintry weather sets in.

Enjoy a myriad of things to do, from massive veterans and Thanksgiving parades to the opening of holiday markets and winter carnivals to a plethora of family-friendly events indoors and out.
