KRISKINDLMARKT looks and smells like a European Christmas village. Last year we welcomed more than 1000 guests and we've grown into a “can’t miss” event in the Alleghany Highlands!
Enjoy "The Mill" (our repurposed, unheated 100+ year old lumber mill behind the School) filled with laughter, lights, holiday scents & cheer, shopping & entertainment! German Father Christmas will make a visit! Live music throughout the event. Dress warmly. ARTISAN CRAFTS: Wood-turned bowls, cutting boards, fresh greenery, hand-made sweaters, felted wool hats, bags & purses, blacksmith-forged items, soaps & lotions, pottery, antique tiles, knit & crochet arts, photography, painted art, jewelry, Christmas ornaments, candies & chocolate, decorative gourds, quiltings, designer wreaths, maple syrup & baked goods, and more! Please be aware that some vendors may not accept credit cards. THE MILL CAFE & BAR: European-style breads & pastries, German beer & authentic Gluhwein (for ages 21+), mulled apple cider & cold beverages. Fabulous German food choices for your dining-in or take-out pleasure. The Cafe (in the Mill) & The Gallery (upstairs) both provide seating to diners. Frauhlein helpers can assist diners in transporting meals & drinks upstairs to their seats as needed. ENTRY FEE: $2 cash admission; Free for children 12 and younger. Dress warmly. RAFFLES & SILENT AUCTION: Raffles of artisan-made items from KRISKINDLMARKT vendors & donors. Tickets are sold during the event with drawings done at event close (winners do not need to be present). Many beautiful items are also featured in a Silent Auction. Proceeds benefit Clifton Forge School of the Arts, the community art school of the Alleghany Highlands. BIERGARTEN: New this year! As shopping closes down on Friday, wind back up with German food, German beer, gluhwein, traditional music, and plenty of good cheer! Friday from 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm. $2 cover charge (free if already a Kriskindlmarkt attendee!)
