Camden’s Winter Wonderland Returns with Festive Fun for All on Dec 19th

The Camden Community Partnership has announced the return of one of the city’s most anticipated holiday traditions: the Winter Wonderland Festival. The festive, family-friendly celebration will take place on Friday, December 19, 2025, from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. at Roosevelt Plaza Park, located at 520 Market Street in Camden.

Held during the final weekend before Christmas, Winter Wonderland transforms downtown Camden into a lively holiday destination filled with seasonal sights, sounds, and activities for all ages. The free event is open to the public and designed to bring neighbors together for an evening of community, cheer, and celebration.

Guests can enjoy a full lineup of entertainment and attractions throughout the three-hour event, including live Christmas music performances and brass quartets playing throughout the park. Children and families will have the chance to meet Santa Claus, along with beloved holiday characters like Olaf and the Grinch. A Christmas carousel and mini trackless train rides will be available at no cost, alongside a gingerbread-themed inflatable obstacle course.

The festival will also feature food trucks serving local favorites, holiday vendors, community group displays, face painting, a Metro Police game truck, and interactive activities for kids. Guests can warm up at the hot chocolate and cookie station and shop for Downtown Camden-themed ornaments and gifts.

Winter Wonderland is a free community celebration created to bring joy and connection to Camden residents while celebrating the holiday season in the heart of the city. With entertainment, food, rides, and festive surprises around every corner, the event promises something for everyone.

Complimentary parking will be available in the lot at Broadway and Federal Street, next to the Walter Rand Transportation Center and across from Chase Bank.

The event is presented by Camden Community Partnership in partnership with the City of Camden, Connect the Lots Camden, Reimagining the Civic Commons, Subaru / Subaru of America Foundation, Rutgers Camden, Camden County Police, Camden County, and Downtown Camden / Camden Special Services District.
