South Street Craft Fair
Immerse yourself in a winter wonderland while browsing for home goods at the outdoor market at Headhouse Square Shambles, organized by the folks who organize PHAIR — the big outdoor craft fair we flock to in the spring and summer — so you know it’ll be good. Santa will be there for photos. Dec. 7, 4 to 7 p.m., Headhouse Square Shambles on Second St. between Pine and Lombard, 215-413-3713, www.southstreet.com Crafty Balboa
Score quirky finds at this fest that always delivers quality — and oddity to boot. In addition to housewares, scoop out the jewelry and other treasures.
Dec. 13, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., SS Neumann and Goretti High School, 1736 S. 10th St., www.craftybalboa.blogspot.com Go West! Craft Fest
We are so excited to see this West Philly staple getting bigger and better each year, without ever losing touch with its roots. It’s still organized by Emily Dorn of Vix Emporium and Mike and Wilder Scott-Straight of crafting company As the Crow Flies. Step inside the Rotunda to peruse the wares of vendors handpicked by the organizers. Dec. 14, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., The Rotunda, 4014 Walnut St., www.gowestcraftfest.blogspot.com
