Nestled in the heart of Mass Avenue’s Arts District, you’re invited to drink, eat and be merry this holiday season at our third annual Christkindlmarkt!

Inspired by the outdoor holiday markets that have been famous in Germany for centuries, our Christkindlmarkt focuses on local vendors, beautifully crafted gifts, and a variety of winter holidays and festivities. Free and open to the public, with plenty of delicious and delightful options to purchase and enjoy.

Here, you’ll find the traditional festival elements (live music & entetainment, cheesy raclettes, glühwein, and plenty of platzchen to go around) are just the foundation for special storytelling traditions unique to our rich, German culture. Your family will love our St. Nicholas Fest and Krampusnacht.

This is your chance to gather with friends and family, and connect with a bigger community to celebrate the magic and wonder of the holiday season in our historic Biergarten.
