The Christkindl Market is the city’s largest winter festival.
It features a German Christmas village with 80 vendor booths that are fashioned as Bavarian-style wooden chalets. It is FREE to attend — just bring your wallet to shop and eat.
You can enjoy authentic German food and beverages — including Glühwein, hot chocolate, spiced cider, pretzels, schnitzel, bratwurst, and more.
The market is a great place to shop for holiday gifts, or to add holiday decor items to your own collection. You’ll find ornaments, nutcrackers, traditional beer steins, and toys.
There’s a Ferris Wheel this year for the first time.
The Atlanta ChristKindl Market is presented by the German American Cultural Foundation.
