From ice skating and private igloos to holiday markets and handcrafted goods, the Winter Wonderland at Newark Winter Village is back in downtown Newark.
While New York City draws crowds to its Union Square and Bryant Park holiday markets, New Jersey residents can enjoy festive fun close to home.
The Newark Winter Village holiday market features dozens of vendors offering fresh food, gifts, and handcrafted goods. On Dec. 13, Hitting Ur Belly and Big Roc’s Deli food trucks will make a special appearance. Families can lace up for **ice skating** or try **ice go-karting** on the outdoor rink.
For a cozy break, guests can book private, heated igloos, which are perfect for lunch, hot cocoa, or relaxing after skating.
