Deck the Alley

Deck the Alley, the iconic holiday fundraiser, returns to Philadelphia's most historic street! This is an open house where many Alley residents open their doors so you can step inside 18th and 19th-century homes and see how people live in them today. Your ticket also includes the Elfreth's Alley Museum and an evening of seasonal decor and song.

Live music fills the Alley, with costumed performers and carolers strolling under decorations and lights. Craft demonstrations run in the Museum House. There's an activities table for kids and a visit from Santa Claus!

Complimentary cookies and hot cider are served throughout the event, alongside a cash bar featuring Elfreth's Alley wine mugs. The mugs also unlock drink deals around the neighborhood.

Every ticket supports the work of preserving this National Historic Landmark and interpreting its history for visitors near and far.
