Holiday Kickoff Weekend with Grand Illumination Celebration

Let the holiday magic (and shopping) begin! Peddler’s Village lights up with a million colorful lights on Friday, November 20 at their Grand Illumination Celebration! Come out from 4:30-9 p.m. and enjoy appearances by Santa, live performances, and outdoor food & drinks. The lights switch on at 6:15 p.m. sharp. The holiday light display will be up until January 19! On Saturday and Sunday, visitors can enjoy a variety of live entertainment throughout the Village, including carolers, strolling performers, and other holiday surprises. Santa is available for photos at Giggleberry Fair. As always, admission and parking are free. Embrace the holiday spirit and follow the winding brick paths in the colorfully illuminated Village to find the best in apparel, accessories, home goods, furniture, fine art and handcrafted items, books, toys and games, and plenty of gifts and collectibles from their 60+ specialty shops and boutiques. While Peddler’s Village is a top shopping destination all year long, the magic is amplified during the holidays, when a million multi-hued lights transform the Village into a winter wonderland. Take time to enjoy a meal in one of our eight restaurants, or, if you’re too busy finding gifts for everyone on your list, simply stroll the picturesque Village with a warm beverage. Check out the winners of the Gingerbread Competition & Display at their Visitor & Event Center. Smell the sweet scents of gingerbread while you marvel at over 100 incr-edible creations! IMPORTANT NOTE about the Grand Illumination Celebration on Friday evening: Visitors who wish to experience the Grand Illumination Ceremony should plan to arrive no later than 5:30 p.m. This is a very popular event and parking can reach full capacity, so please plan to arrive as early as possible. They would advise against bringing dogs to this event as the pathways become congested.
