Christkindlmarket Des Moines
It’s time for Gluhwein! along with brats, strudel, and more German food!
For the past few years, downtown Des Moines has hosted a Christkindlmarket Des Moines – a German Christmas Market with old German traditions including food, shopping, and music. Admission and parking are FREE!
For 2024: The event is scheduled for Dec 5th to Dec 8th, visit their website for details: https://christkindlmarketdsm.com.
Although the market has daytime hours, we have always enjoyed visiting during the evening as we love how the vendor booths are lit up and the entire atmosphere changes.
There’s a number of vendors – everything including greeting cards, woodworking, and lots of holiday decorations/gifts. Visit their website for a full list of vendors.
