Christkindlmarkt at the Hallet Oak Gallery
In the weeks before Christmas, many cities throughout Germany offer an open-air market, Christkindlmarkt. Originally markets to buy winter necessities, these markets have changed over time to Christmas Markets and are a major part of the German Christmas tradition. Vendors sell Christmas goods such as tree ornaments, wreaths & candles and Christmas baked goods, candies, and other comestibles. Warm drinks are part of the tradition. Larry Charles, local watercolor painter, will be on site, among other artists.
Dr. Betty Edwards, owner of the Kahn & Stanzel Building, is sponsoring “Christkindlmarkt” for Festival of Lights starting on November 26th through December 17th at the Hallet Oak Gallery. Tables are available for vendors to sell cookies, noodles, strudel or other items with international flair or local charm. Enhancing the Christmas spirit will be live concerts featuring traditional German and Czech music. Special performing guests are: Das 1st Lustig on November 26; The TubaMeisters on December 3; Traditional local music on December 10 and December 17. All live Christkindlmarkt music performances begins at 1 to 5 pm, doors open at 9:00 AM.
Join Dr. Edwards and friends at the Gallery November 26, and every Saturday through December 17 for this charming event. Free to the public.
