Small Business Saturday
Small Business Saturday in Chestnut Hill is a cherished tradition that embodies the community's "Keep it on the Hill" motto—a commitment among residents to keep dollars as local as possible and support Philadelphia-made products. This magical shopping event transforms historic Germantown Avenue into a nostalgic holiday experience that harkens back to an earlier time.
During Holidays on the Hill, visitors can immerse themselves in the season's spirit by strolling through one of Philadelphia's most historic villages. Refreshments are served at many local businesses to add charm to the season, and guests can have their picture taken with beloved Santa while carolers stroll the Avenue adding their music to the festive mood.
