For one weekend, the Philly Waldorf campus is transformed into a magical wonderland. The joyous mood, unique children’s activities, one-of-a-kind crafts, and a gourmet cafe and bakery are the perfect antidote to the pervasive commercialism that can surround us during the holiday season.
Join us on Friday, November 22nd, 2024, for an ADULTS-ONLY event from 6:00-10:00 p.m. to kick off our annual Holiday & Craft Bazaar weekend. Admission is free! Explore 70 local vendors offering a beautiful selection of affordable, handmade gifts. Indulge in a full evening meal if you wish (with gluten-free and vegan options available), along with dessert and coffee. We’ll also have cocktails, boozy hot drinks, and non-alcoholic beverages.
Bring the whole family on Saturday, November 23rd, 2024, from 10:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m. Enjoy holiday shopping with our local vendors and all the activities listed below. Activities are paid for with snowflakes, which you can purchase ahead of time or at the event. A variety of snack and meal options available for purchase, including soups, chilis, pulled pork sandwiches, baked goods and more!
