If you’re looking to buy local in Philadelphia this season, you’re in luck: there are more than two dozen holiday markets and pop-ups around the city.
Whether you’re looking for candles, plants, home decor, bath and body products, art, clothing, jewelry, ornaments or pickles, there’s something for you – or, uh, the people on your list.
Some of Philly’s ongoing markets are open on weekdays, such as Christmas Village at LOVE Park or the Black Holiday Pop-Up in West Philly. Weekends offer even more options, including multiple Saturday events for small businesses and dozens of pop-ups you can visit on a shopping spree in mid-December. For procrastinators, there is even the weekend before Christmas.
