​12th Annual KRISKINDLMARKT

A German-Style Christmas Market
November 17-18, 2023
​
​Inspired by German Advent markets, this event is full of one-of-a-kind holiday gifts, German-style food and drink, music and dance performances, and a festive atmosphere. 

Shop from artisan vendors, enjoy live entertainment, visit with Santa, and kick off the holiday season in the Alleghany Highlands. ​

Longtime favorite vendors as well as brand new faces will be bringing their artisan-made products. It's fun for the whole family while you support artists, the School of the Arts, and the local economy as a whole!

​Here is a list of Vendors we had for the 2022 Kriskindlmarkt:
