PPRA members and non-members are invited to visit, taste, shop, and enjoy the attractions at America’s biggest and most award-winning holiday market. Christmas Village is also one of the region’s largest media stories each year, generating as many as 2,000–3,000 media placements. PR Santa, Kory Aversa of Aversa PR, will guide guests on an exclusive tour, sharing what it’s like to promote the market, offering insider tips, highlighting must-try food and drink, and showcasing the new Shops at the Wanamaker Light Show.

Guests will begin at the Wanamaker Light Show with a welcome cocktail and festive snacks, explore the vendors, and take in the iconic performance. From there, the tour continues to the Christmas Village Courtyard for a ride on the Christmas carousel and additional tastings, followed by a stop at the Made in Philadelphia Holiday Market for more insider tips and samples. We’ll pause for photos at the new Christmas pyramid in Love Park before ending with a cozy reception at the Love Park Welcome Center, surrounded by the Festival of Trees and complete with cocoa, mulled wine, and a sweet surprise. Along the way, we’ll discuss how the market drives major visibility each season through earned media and partnerships with more than 100 content creators. Come share stories, enjoy a festive drink, and celebrate the holiday season together.

Arrival is encouraged between 5-5:15pm which will allow time to get drinks for the show at 5:30pm. The event will end between 7:30 and 8:00 p.m. - although you can dip out whenever is need.
