With the closing of Strawbridge's many feared that the annual Dickens Village would also disappear from Philadelphia's holiday celebrations. Such a shame that would have been since the exhibit just underwent a comprehensive overhall last year in honor its 20th anniversary under the direction of sculptor Ray Daub who along with former partner Mary Wimberley created the exhibit two decades ago.
The good news is that Dickens Village is back and as good as ever. It is now located on the 3rd floor of the new Macy's downtown store which is located in the old John Wanamaker building at 1300 Market Street. The the 6,000-square-foot exhibit has remained a popular holiday attraction with more than 100,000 visitors each holiday season with 10,000 on Black Friday alone.
We are pleased to present a photo gallery of many of the scenes in Dickens Village. The exhibit is open now through December 31 at Macy's Center City. The store is closed on Christmas Day.
