Join us for a festive frolic as we showcase Philadelphia’s Holiday Spirit. We will guide you through nostalgic and new traditions of the City of Brotherly Love and Sisterly Affection.
From the sounds and smells of the Reading Terminal to the Holiday Light Show in Macy’s narrated by Julie Andrews and the laughter of the children as they glide by on the Dilworth Park skating rink, merriment abounds! Whether you celebrate Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Christmas or just want to enjoy the bright lights in the cold of Winter, there is something for every guest.
