Tips for Visiting Philadelphia-Area Christmas Markets
- Check dates and hours before you go. Holiday market schedules can vary by day, and special events or ticket availability may change. Check the official website before leaving.
- Visit on a weekday if possible. Center City markets can get especially busy on weekends, so a weekday visit may make browsing and getting around easier.
- Plan parking and tickets ahead of time. Check admission requirements for ticketed markets and look into parking or public transportation before your visit. For Kennett Square, take advantage of the shuttle from the municipal parking garage.
