PHILADELPHIA, PA — The city’s most beloved showcase of local creativity is back for another season as the Made in Philadelphia Holiday Market returns to Dilworth Park on November 14, bringing with it more than 40 regional artisans, makers, and food vendors. Now in its 11th year, the open-air market runs through January 1, 2026, offering visitors a festive shopping experience in the heart of Center City.
Presented by the organizers of Christmas Village in Philadelphia, the market highlights the best of local craftsmanship — from handmade jewelry and art to gourmet foods and holiday décor. Each booth, framed by elegant white wooden huts topped with glowing Moravian stars, creates a modern yet nostalgic atmosphere that has become a signature of Philadelphia’s holiday season.
“The Made in Philadelphia Holiday Market continues to highlight the best of our city’s creative spirit,” said Thomas Bauer, president of the event. “We are proud to provide a space where local artisans can showcase their work and where Philadelphians can find truly unique holiday treasures right in the heart of Center City.”
Visitors can explore a diverse lineup of artisans, including jewelry from Lily Lough Jewelry and Brandon David Brown, handcrafted ceramics from Crafts Dept. Philly, gourmet treats from Cynful Bliss and JD’s House of Bacon, skincare products from Cirese C. Skin Therapy, and Philly-themed artwork from Foster Philly Art. Food lovers can indulge in WOOPS! French macarons, Cannoli Café desserts, and local hot beverages from Philly’s Hot Beverages.
Market hours run Sunday through Thursday from 12:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. and Fridays and Saturdays until 9:00 p.m., with extended evening hours returning by popular demand. The market is closed on Christmas Day and offers special hours on Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve. Admission is free.
Set against the backdrop of City Hall, the Made in Philadelphia Holiday Market operates alongside other seasonal attractions, including the Rothman Orthopaedics Ice Rink, the Rothman Cabin, and the Wintergarden on the Greenfield Lawn. Together with its sister market, Christmas Village in Philadelphia, the events will feature more than 170 total vendors, drawing over one million visitors annually and transforming Center City into one of the nation’s premier winter destinations.
Shoppers are encouraged to visit on weekdays to avoid weekend crowds and experience the market’s full charm — from local craftsmanship to twinkling lights and festive music echoing through Dilworth Park.
