Published on December 15, 2025
On December 20 at 1:00 p.m., Pancakes & Booze returns to the city with a brand-new concept: The Philadelphia Holiday Market, taking over Underground Arts (1200 Callowhill St.) for an afternoon of art, shopping, music, and—yes—free all-you-can-eat pancakes.
Known for reimagining the traditional art show, Pancakes & Booze is ditching gallery walls and conventional layouts in favor of an open-concept creative marketplace where artists, vendors, and shoppers all share the same energetic space. The result is a festive, high-vibe holiday experience that’s equal parts art show, pop-up market, and community hangout.
This isn’t your typical craft fair or holiday bazaar. The Philadelphia Holiday Market is designed to feel immersive, inclusive, and alive—no barriers, no hierarchy, just creativity flowing freely.
Guests can expect:
-
Free admission
-
50+ local artists and vendors
-
FREE all-you-can-eat pancakes
-
Live audio performances from local DJs and music producers
-
A festive, high-energy atmosphere perfect for last-minute holiday shopping
With more than 50 artists and vendors participating, the Holiday Market offers a rare chance to shop directly from Philly creatives while finding truly unique gifts. From visual art and handmade goods to prints, apparel, and specialty items, the market makes it easy to support local talent while checking off your holiday shopping list.
And because admission is free, the event is accessible to everyone—maximizing exposure for artists and creating a welcoming environment for shoppers of all kinds.
Founded in Los Angeles in 2009, the Pancakes & Booze Art Show has grown into a global phenomenon, popping up more than 500 times in over 35 cities across North America and Europe. The concept is simple but bold: break down the barriers of traditional art spaces and replace them with something fun, communal, and unpretentious.
