The centerpiece of the festival is the Electrical Spectacle Light Show, which plays nightly every 30 minutes from 5 p.m. until 9 p.m., when the park closes. The free show illuminates the park with hundreds of thousands of dancing lights set to the tunes of popular holiday songs. New this year, one of the songs in the show is "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" from "A Philly Special Christmas," the 2022 debut album by former and current Eagles players Jason Kelce, Lane Johnson and Jordan Mailata.
Street curling, a version of the Olympic ice sport in which teams take turns sliding granite stones across a sheet of ice toward a target, is also being offered. Sessions are 30 minutes each, can include up to eight players and cost $40 for a reservation.
Chilly Philly Mini Golf, which runs through Jan. 26, gives the usual course a wintry makeover complete with themed music, lights and giant characters. Visitors can also ride the holiday-decorated Parx Liberty Carousel and play on the park's two playgrounds.
Visitors can check out the Ben on the Rocks heated tent, which will serve cocktails each night. Plus, there's a Winter Beer Garden with fire pits, and SquareBurger is serving seasonal foods.
Franklin Square is free to enter and is open daily from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. The park has special holiday hours and begins closing at 7 p.m. daily on Jan. 9.
