Deutsches Haus
Christkindlmarkt 

Deutsches Haus is holding its 8th annual Christkindlmarkt or Christmas Market in December 2026. A Christkindlmarkt is a street market associated with Christmas during the Advent season. These outdoor markets originated in Germany in the late Middle Ages. Our market will offer food, drink, seasonal items and handmade gifts and crafts offered for sale from open air stalls. Shopping will be accompanied by traditional Christmas music and singing and evening shopping under lights.

Sausages, pretzels, gluhwein (warm mulled wine) plus hot chocolate and other treats will be available.

Shopping

There will be over 60 different vendors – with wares either locally made or imported from Germany. Many items suitable for gifts including jewelry, soaps, scarves, and locally-made foods ranging from spiced pecans to stollen from an old family recipe. See Vendor list below.

Entertainment

Visits by St. Nicholas and the Christkind are sure to delight children of all ages. Photos may be taken with either.

There will be seasonal music featuring bands playing lively holiday music, filling the market with the sound of brass instruments, carols, and traditional German tunes. Returning this year will be Kurrende Brass, a traditional open invitation to brass musicians young and old to bring their instrument and join the Haus Band to play Christmas carols.
