Deck the Alley: Elfreth's Alley Historic Holiday Open House

Deck the Alley, the iconic holiday fundraiser, returns to Philadelphia’s most historic street on Saturday, December 9th, 2023. The Elfreth’s Alley Association invites the public to get a glimpse of contemporary life inside 18th and 19th-century houses as residents along the Alley open their homes to the public. Guests can also tour the Elfreth's Alley Museum and immerse themselves in seasonal decor and song. Buy your tickets today to support the work of preserving this special place and sharing its history with visitors near and far!

We will be serving hot cider, snacks, and enjoying the music of carolers under decorations and lights. This event is a fundraiser for the Elfreth's Alley Association, which works to preserve the National Historic Landmark of Elfreth's Alley and interpret its history to visitors from near and far.

This event is rain (or snow) or shine!
