Theresa at Polka Beat made a youtube video of some of the happenings at the 2011 German Christmas Market. Check it out: http://youtu.be/I3aB-tEvTWU

Now famous in most places around the world, the traditions of Santa Claus, Christkind (Kris Kringle) and gift giving on Christmas Eve came over from Germany and surrounding European countries. Sinterklaas and the Christkind look forward to getting to know ALL the kiddo's on their gift list!

2019 German Christmas Market headliners; Squeezebox! They played for us for the first time in 2017. The requests have been coming in, so we invited them back for this year!
