PHOTOS: Christmas Village opening weekend in Love Park

Christmas Village officially opened in Love Park this weekend, and in a big way: organizers reported record attendance, with tens of thousands of visitors showing up to the annual outdoor German market to shop holiday gifts and décor, snack on gingerbread and German fare, and sip mulled wine and hot cocoa.

The Camden Catholic High School marching band was on hand to lead the way for the Christkindarriving in her carriage, and students from the Clearview Regional choir sang Christmas carols.
