Ten Things to Do
Over the Winter
E ELEANOR LINAFELT | JE CONTRIBUTING WRITER
ven with the weather getting colder and the days getting shorter, there
are still plenty of events to attend in the Philadelphia area this month
and into 2022. Close out the year with festivals, Chanukah celebrations
and a brand-new parade downtown.

Here’s a sampling:
Winter at Dilworth Park
Rittenhouse Square Candle-lighting
Dilworth Park in front of City Hall transforms into a winter
wonderland all season. The Rothman Orthopaedic Institute Ice
Rink is now open for outdoor ice skating. The Wintergarden
is a nice place to sit among twinkling lights, and the Rothman
Orthopaedics Cabin is serving seasonal dishes and cocktails.

Center City Kehillah is hosting a community candle-lighting on
the fourth night of Chanukah at Rittenhouse Square that will
be perfect for the whole family. Celebrate with the Center City
community at this downtown spot.

Just a mile east of Dilworth Park sits Franklin Square, which
is also decked out for the season. Franklin Square’s Electrical
Spectacle Light Show presented by PECO features a free nightly
light show accompanied by songs, and there is also a mini-golf
course and an open-air cocktail lounge. The Old City Jewish
Arts Center will host a Chanukah Dreidel Giveaway on Nov. 28
as part of the square’s seasonal festivities.
