Local Staycations: Peddler’s Village

Although the economy is rebounding, many families are still trying to find creative ways to have fun, travel and make memories together.  While some are able to pull everything together for a big getaway or grand vacation, most of us are staying local this Spring and Summer, finding new and exciting ways to explore the areas around us.


We’ve done travel reviews in the past, which you can find on the right side bar:

But over the next few months, we’ll be sharing our reviews on some of the best Staycations in the Philadelphia region.  Whether you visit for the day, stay over night, or make it a week getaway, there are tons of places in our area to make a great local vacation!

Peddler’s Village – Grand Illumination Celebration!

Light up your holidays at Peddler’s Village!

Friday, November 19th, the Peddler’s Village Grand Illumination Celebration will take place from 6 PM until 10 PM. This also coincides with the 30th Annual Gingerbread House Competition and Display in the Village Gazebo, which will debut that night as well!

It is truly a magical moment in the Village when at 6:15 PM that night, Santa Claus “switches on” the display of one million lights as the official start to the holiday season! Santa will then make his way to Giggleberry Fair to visit with all the children in attendance.

If you are looking for a way to kick of your own holiday season and are wanting to start a new tradition with your family and friends, you cannot go wrong with the Grand Illumination Celebration – enjoy festive music and complimentary refreshments throughout the evening. Hot cider, heated in an old fashioned kettle, will be served with marshmallows toasted over an open fire. Strolling musicians will perform holiday favorites throughout the evening.

Also, visitors are invited to preview the merchants’ distinctive choices for holiday gift giving to kick off the Merchants Open House weekend, November 19th through the 21st.
