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. We'll have bratwurst, sauerkraut, goulash, and pretzels from CHEFS Catering, delicious soups from Mountain Field Market, Gebrannte Mandeln (candied roasted almonds), an array of fresh-baked breads and sweets, German beer, German Glühwein and more!
Shop from artisan vendors, enjoy live entertainment, visit with Santa, and kick off the holiday season in the Alleghany Highlands.
Friday evening from 5:00-8:00 pm we'll have German folk music by Willie Hayes and the Alpen Travelers- grab a beer, eat a brat, and enjoy! Throughout the event, we'll have dance performances from Cora Dance and hear from local musicians, student musicians and community musical groups. We will even have storytime for the little ones and a chance to sing along with your favorite Christmas carols. Santa will join us throughout the entire event, and our outdoor holiday light display, The Garden Illumination, turns on at dusk on Friday.
