Singers, snow and more in downtown Collingswood Every Friday and Saturday night in December.

Shop local! The trees along Haddon and Collings Avenue business districts glow with more than a quarter million lights. Storefronts sparkle with garland and lights set up in beautiful holiday displays. Visit Santa to drop off your wishlist and take photos on Haddon Ave as well!

Holiday Shopping
Collingswood Partners, Inc. is again working to put together a beautiful shopping streetscape on the Avenue. There are extended shopping hours every Friday and Saturday in December and parking is free in the downtown throughout December to make shopping a breeze. Haddon Avenue in Collingswood is decked out with an estimated 500,000 lights so visitors and residents can shop in a winter wonderland and find just the right gifts for underneath the tree. And the word is it will definitely snow in Collingswood.
