German Christmas Markets in the USA 2026
70 Christkindlmarkets and German-style Christmas markets across the United States, with this year's dates.
A Christkindlmarkt (the spelling varies: Christkindlmarket, Christkindl Market) is the traditional German Christmas market: rows of wooden huts selling glass ornaments, nutcrackers and wooden toys, with Glühwein (hot spiced wine), bratwurst, potato pancakes and roasted nuts. Many US cities with German heritage hold one, some run by German-American societies, others by event companies that run markets in several cities.
