Experience German holiday traditions in Carmel
The Carmel Christkindlmarkt is bringing the old world charm of Christmas in Germany to beautiful Carmel, Indiana!
The Christmas market tradition stretches back to Saxony, Germany during the middles ages. Over the centuries, the joys of the traditional Christmas markets spread from town to town, and around the world!
Maria Murphy, CEO of Christkindlmarkt, and Heidi Wernicke of Quirky Feather Confectionary share what visitors can expect when shopping and visiting this one-of-a-kind holiday experience for the whole family
Christkindlmarkt is the German name for the traditional Christmas market, literally translated as “Christ child market.” These markets feature a delightful blend of holiday food, drinks, gifts, and decorations. Various regions of Germany became well-known for their hand-crafted Christmas decorations, wood-working, artwork, or textiles. Today, millions of people enjoy Germany’s Christmas markets each year.
The opening ceremony is tomorrow, November 18 at 12 p.m. at the Drees Home Stage and the festivities continue into the evening!
You can experience Carmel Christkindlmarkt through December 24 (closed on Thanksgiving).
