Dickens Village

The Wanamaker Light Show and Dickens Village will be returning for the 2025 holiday season! Check back soon for updates on dates, hours, and event details.

In the meantime, help us preserve this beloved Philly tradition by supporting our Save the Light Show fundraising campaign.

Located on the third floor of the Wanamaker Building, Dickens Village is a 6,000-square-foot nostalgic, immersive walk-through experience. Visitors transport to 1840s London with 26 heart-warming scenes from Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. 

Admission is free, through registration is required with a free timed ticket. Reservations will be available soon.

Extend your stay at the Historic Wanamaker Building and watch the Light Show accompanied by festive music from the world-renowned Wanamaker Grand Organ.
