Carmel Christkindlmarkt

Step into the magic of the holidays and experience an authentic German Christkindlmarkt!

Step into the holiday season with a visit to the Carmel Christkindlmarkt. Stroll through the dozens of huts and enjoy delicious German food and drinks, shop for unique gifts, and enjoy holiday music performed by artists from around the world. Watch in awe as German artisans demonstrate woodworking or glassblowing right in front of you, or take a spin around the ice rink made of real ice. Free crafts, characters and music await families in our Kinderecke (Kids Corner) and Spielhaus (Play House).

Grab your friends and family and create new memories with us this year!
