Events

It’s time to enjoy the winter season in Center City. Every winter, visitors from across the region come to Center City to enjoy nostalgic holiday traditions only found in Philadelphia. From the Macy’s Light Show and Santa sightings to City Hall’s Holiday Tree and Christmas Village, classic attractions can be found in every neighborhood throughout the Center City District.

All of Dilworth Park’s popular winter attractions are returning in November. The Rothman Orthopaedics Ice Rink will again offer skating seven days per week, the Greenfield Lawn will host the Wintergarden and the west facade of City Hall will once again be illuminated by the Deck the Hall Light Show. The Rothman Orthopaedics Cabin and the Made in Philadelphia Holiday Market will round out the park’s seasonal transformation.

Shop Center City Saturdays returns this fall in support of retailers and restaurants in downtown Philadelphia for three consecutive Saturdays, September 17, September 24 and October 1. October 1 events have been postponed until October 29.
