Chestnut Hill’s cherished Stag & Doe Nights are back, lighting up the season every Wednesday evening from December 4 through December 18 as part of Holidays on the Hill. From 5 to 9 p.m., visitors can enjoy festive entertainment, extended shopping hours, exclusive holiday specials, and complimentary refreshments at many stores. Most shops will remain open until 9 p.m., offering a magical evening of holiday shopping along Germantown Avenue.

Adding to the enchantment, every Stag & Doe night, Santa will make his way down the Avenue from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., delighting families with cheerful greetings as the joyful sounds of a brass quartet fill the air. New this year, families can enjoy the Chestnut Hill Sleigh Ride, operating from 6 to 9 p.m. during each Stag & Doe night. The complimentary shuttle service provides a convenient way to explore the neighborhood, with stops along Germantown Avenue at Mermaid Lane, Springfield Avenue, Willow Grove Avenue, Abington, Southampton, Highland Avenue, and Rex Avenue. Riders can easily hop on and off to shop, dine, and soak in the season’s spirit. Look for Sleigh Ride signage to join the fun.

 We offer free parking in our six public lots every Wednesday, all day and night, through Christmas. Visitors can find a map and more details about the six parking lots here.
