Enjoy holiday shopping and fun on Saturday while benefiting a good cause at the Jingle Fest Holiday Craft Bazaar & Family Fun Festival at Greater Philadelphia Expo Center at Oaks.

There are activities for the whole family, including Fido - featured are face painting, a moon bounce, pet Peach the pony, and spin-wheel games. Guests can paint a horseshoe and get on a giant slide. Santa, Frozen characters Elsa and Olaf, and Mickey and Minnie Mouse will visit.

The expo will have an abundance of food and crafts and other items for purchase. Fido can get home training at dog training seminars. And there will be pet adoption information for those looking for a furry addition to their family.

Proceeds from the festival will go toward helping families with members battling cancer.
