With its festive feel and old-world European charm, it's hard to believe this weeks-long market actually exists! From November 17 through December 23, the Denver Christkindlmarket is open daily, keeping the German holiday traditions at Civic Center Park. Stop by and enjoy traditional German music, food, shopping, and more!

You don't have to go too far to get a real taste of a European Christmas! Presented by the German American Chamber of Commerce, the Denver Christkindlmarket offers authentic German treats and entrees under a big white tent, with a little village of stores selling vendors' wares under twinkling holiday lights.

Plus, with lively entertainment, a daily raffle, and scheduled visits from St. Nikolaus, the Christkind, and Krampus, this adorable Christmas market is just the thing to get you in the holiday spirit and keep you coming back for more!

For a complete list of vendors and entertainment, visit the event's website.

And remember, this German tradition is open every day starting November 18! So even if you work downtown and want to stop by on a weekday for a German-inspired lunch, or if you want to head over for a little fun shopping after ice skating at Skyline Park or after visiting the Mile High Tree, the Christkindlmarket will be up and running and ready for you to keep coming back again and again, through December 23.

Not to mention, this would be a memorable little place to take family coming into town for the holidays! Make an evening out of it and visit the Mile High Tree or Denver Zoo Lights.
