Made in Philadelphia Holiday Market

The Made in Philadelphia Holiday Market transforms Dilworth Park, on the west side of City Hall in Center City, into an open-air winter market of local artisans, designers, crafters and jewelers selling holiday-inspired handmade goods and gifts. It's the holiday finale of the Made in Philadelphia Market Series, a year-round run of four seasonal markets spotlighting makers from Philadelphia and the tri-state area, with seasonal treats to keep shoppers going between stalls.

Our take: Go on a weekday if you can; the organizers themselves recommend it to beat the weekend crowds.
