This annual event brings authentic German and European holiday traditions to Denver! The Market opens every year on the Friday before Thanksgiving, and lasts through the 23rd of December. The event offers an authentic German holiday experience, including opportunities to meet St. Nikolaus, Krampus and the Christkind herself. Guests can savor the season as they enjoy authentic Gluhwein, Bavarian-style Biers, European coffee, or hot chocolate while wandering through the Market. Each charming wooden hut offers finely crafted artisan gifts and holiday treats sold by local Coloradan and international merchants. Guests are invited to cozy up inside the heated Festival Hall to enjoy live entertainment while snacking on Bavarian-style pretzels, fresh smoked salmon, or Goulasch with their family and friends. The Denver Christkindl Market is planned and executed by the German American Chamber of Commerce – Colorado Chapter (GACC-CO).
The Denver Christkindlmarket bars now accept both cash and credit cards. The majority of vendors at the Christkindlmarket accept both cash and card payments as well. In the case that guests do need cash, there are ATMs within the perimeter of the Market available for withdrawals.
