Holiday Kickoff Weekend

Let the holiday magic (and shopping) begin! 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 our 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 our Visitor & Event Center. Smell the sweet scents of gingerbread while you marvel at over 100 incr-edible creations!
