Holiday Market on Dec 13th

Although we finished our season at Clark Park, it's not over! There's one big event left.

Our first annual Holiday Market is Saturday, December 13th from 12 to 6pm at the Calvary Center (48th & Baltimore). We are hosting 30+ vendors with food, drinks, raffles, and door prizes.

It's free to attend, and warm inside! There's free street parking, on the T2 line, and the building is ADA accessible.

And many thanks to our Winter Lights sponsors. As a 501c3 non-profit, we rely on outside support!

Philadelphia Federal Credit Union (PFCU), stablished in 1951, offers personal and business accounts. They have a long history of supporting numerous non-profits, including us!

​Hellcat Studio has been a big supporter of us since the beginning! They help non-profits succeed through operational, business, and creative services.
