When you live on the Main Line, this is easy to do thanks to a local calendar that’s chock full of holiday events. Interested in enjoying some of the fun? Check out this lineup of holiday events on the Main Line—and read on.
With dozens of activities to choose from, you have to be selective about how you spend your precious December days. It should only take you about half an hour to get to Christmasland at Linvilla Orchards, which is happening through December 23rd. The apple orchard gets all gussied up for the season with hundreds of twinkling lights. Come by on a Saturday to pick your holiday tree and wreaths, climb aboard a caroling hayride, and enjoy some warm apple cider.
If you’re an animal lover, you won’t want to miss Zoo Noel at the Philadelphia Zoo. From December 5th to the 20th, greet the zoo’s animals while you sip on something sweet from the hot chocolate bar and embark on a holiday-themed scavenger hunt. You can even snap a photo with Santa, as he’ll take up residence here for the holidays.
Meanwhile, a mere 10 minutes from home, the Narberth Dickens Festival unfolds on Sunday, December 3rd. This free festival brings thousands of guests to Narberth, which actually plays the part of 1840s-era London for the day. Meet Tiny Tim, Ebenezer Scrooge, and other folks from A Christmas Carol as costumed actors take to the streets and visitors enjoy festive activities.
Enjoy all of these events just a short distance from Main Line apartments like Radwyn. Mark your calendar to ensure you enjoy some downtime this holiday season!
