10 Shops You Won’t Want to Miss from the Made in Philadelphia Market

Outdoor holiday markets are much more than a series of cookie-cutter kiosks; they are a vibrant thread that weaves a community and its artists together. At Dilworth Park, the “Made in Philadelphia Holiday Market” keeps this holiday tradition alive with over 40 local businesses offering unique, hand-crafted gifts. 

Through January 1, 2024, the Made in Philadelphia Holiday Market at Dilworth Park is open from 12 p.m. to 9 p.m on Friday and Saturday and 12 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Sunday through Thursday. Attention procrastinators: They’re even open from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Christmas Eve!  

Because the bustle of the season and the endless array of choices can be overwhelming, we created a “cheat sheet” with some of the great gifts you can buy at the Made in Philadelphia Holiday Market – all the while supporting local-, minority- and women-owned small businesses.
