Wednesday 11:00am - 8:00pm

Detail: The name Christkindlmarket comes from the mythical tale of the Christkind, a fairy-like being, dressed in a gold and white robe with a crown atop her golden locks, who is the bearer of gifts at Christmas time. The four-week long event is the largest and most renowned German winter holiday market in the United States, featuring typical German food and drinks and a unique holiday shopping experience that offers eclectic ornaments that are hand-blown and painted and cannot be found anywhere else in the world, in addition to classic German products like nutcrackers, cuckoo clocks, beer steins, and Hummel figurines.
