Holiday Shopping Sip & Stroll

Saturday, December 5 | 11:00 AM–4:00 PM | Throughout Old City District

Where your holiday shopping list meets seasonal drinks and open-street entertainment! Old City District's signature open-street celebration returns for its third year, bringing a festive afternoon of shopping, food, drinks, and entertainment to the neighborhood.

Third Street, from Market to Arch, will be temporarily closed to vehicular traffic and open exclusively to pedestrians, giving visitors and locals room to stroll, shop, and enjoy the festivities. Explore an expanded lineup of local shops and vendors, enjoy live street entertainment, and stop by neighborhood cafés and bars pouring seasonal beverages throughout the afternoon.

From unique holiday gifts and special promotions to festive food and drinks, there's plenty to discover around every corner. Make a day of it, support local businesses, and experience the holidays in historic Old City!
