As winter descends upon Philadelphia, locals and visitors alike will find themselves drawn to a beloved holiday tradition. The Independence Seaport Museum is set to transform its waterfront location into a festive hub of activity with 'Winter on the Waterfront', an event taking place this Saturday from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m.
Upon arrival, guests are invited to immerse themselves in an array of creative pursuits designed to evoke the spirit of the season. Crafty visitors can indulge their artistic side by crafting Seaport Snowflakes and tying knot-style ornaments that make for charming trinkets. Meanwhile, those with a sweet tooth will delight in assembling gingerbread-style boats at the museum's boat shop.
For an added touch of nostalgia, historic cruiser Olympia is open for self-guided holiday tours, allowing visitors to delve into its storied past while surrounded by festive decorations.
A highlight of this year's event is the Cannoli Flavor Contest, a unique partnership with Holy Cannoli that invites attendees to sample proposed flavors and cast their votes on which will be featured in January. This interactive element not only adds to the merriment but also gives visitors an opportunity to get involved and shape the future of this beloved Philadelphia treat.
The best part? All activities are included with regular museum admission, ensuring that participants can explore the museum's exhibits, participate in these festive crafts, and take part in the day's seasonal offerings without breaking the bank.

. Who needs to get all bundled up just for some cold weather event? And what's with the Seaport Snowflakes? Just another way for people to make a mess and clean it up afterwards, if you ask me 
. I mean, can't they just leave their crafty projects at home like normal humans?
Who wouldn't want to spend a Saturday making their own Seaport Snowflakes and knot-style ornaments? And, omg, assembling gingerbread-style boats sounds like so much fun! It's awesome that they're including all these activities with regular museum admission - it's perfect for families on a budget. I love how they're also involving the community in choosing the next Cannoli flavor 
. Can't wait to take my kiddos there and make some holiday memories! 
and of course who wouldn't want to sail around on historic cruiser olympia with those festive decorations? 
it's gonna be such a cozy day out by the water...
can't they think outside the box and bring in some new stuff to keep things interesting? 
but let's hope they come up with some fresh ideas next year
. The Seaport Museum is doing its thing with Winter on the Waterfront and it sounds like so much fun! I'm totally down to get my crafty on and make some snowflakes, and who can resist a good gingerbread boat? 
The Cannoli Flavor Contest has me curious too, I love that people get to vote for their fave flavor. What's not to love about free activities and festive vibes all day long? It's the perfect excuse to get out and explore the museum with family and friends
