Dec. 3 Update: Slightly different view / tour Love Park Christmas Village.

German Weekend

Need to add a short tour of Christmas Village (Love Park). After Thanksgiving Day Parade decided to enjoy the day at Love Park / Dilworth Park / City Hall Courtyard. Between the Parade / Parks, definitely best way to spend the holiday.

All 3 have great food / vendors! Yes, did eat a lot of great food. Even enjoyed personal favorite: Apple Cider. Supported a few vendors. 2021 was first time I did holiday shopping in 14 years (personal story). Seriously, did it all at the Christmas Villages / Wintergarden. Like my other fav (Winter Village / Bryant Park), this is your only stop for holiday shopping! You might want the 1st time / experience before decorating. 2021: found unique ornaments at several vendors (did purchase a few, after everyone decorated!). Make sure you stop by Information booth (Love Park). New personal tradition: boot mugs for everyone. Seriously, stop by and pick up a mug.

On a personal note: Covering the Christmas Villages / Wintergarden, started new holiday traditions. 14 years avoided holidays / made sure I stayed busy. When my wife died, holiday magic died for me. 2021: Something about Christmas Village / Wintergarden / Philadelphia that brought it back for me.

I didn't forget bonuses: Ice skating rink (Dilworth Park) / Ferris Wheel (City Hall) / Double deck Carousel (City Hall Courtyard) / Official Christmas Tree (City Hall). Vendors / Food / Bonuses and more combine to make this a must experience for you / your family. There is more to Philadelphia Holiday experience (future articles). Scroll down for video article / photos.
