As the Christmas holidays approach, a very special type of craft and artist fair start to appear all across the country. Christkindlmarkts and German Christmas Festivals are wonderful holiday events often with a mix of local artisans and crafts from around the world.
FestivalNet loves Christkindlmarkts, and we will list several in this blog!
In addition to crafts and holiday items, many of these events include specialty German food and music. Children's crafts and activities will keep your kids happy while you shop for unique gifts. No matter your heritage, these holiday events are a great way to celebrate in December.
