About this Event
Experience the holidays where everything is happening.
East Market is turning Chestnut Walk and Jefferson Plaza into the spot for winter magic, live entertainment, and cozy treats that you will talk about all season. If you love good music, city lights, holiday energy, and free festive fun, this is the one you do not want to miss.
Bring your friends, the kids, your coworkers, or make it a date night. Come for a quick selfie and cocoa or stay for the full lineup. Either way, you will feel like you stepped into a holiday movie set in the middle of Center City.
