EVANSVILLE, IN — A charming holiday tradition is back! The 8th Annual Christkindlmarkt, hosted by the Germania Männerchor Foundation, will fill 916 N. Fulton Avenue with old-world magic on Saturday, November 22 from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
This beloved event transforms the historic hall into a cozy German village, brimming with handcrafted treasures, artisan gifts, and mouthwatering German favorites. Guests can enjoy everything from twinkling ornaments and local crafts to savory food and steaming cups of traditional Glühwein (mulled wine).
And of course—it wouldn’t be Christkindlmarkt without a visit from Santa & Mrs. Claus! Families can also enjoy festive children’s crafts and photo opportunities.
Admission is free, making it the perfect way to kick off the holiday season. But beneath the warm lights and festive cheer lies a deeper purpose.
Supporting the Next Generation of German Language & Music Scholars
All proceeds from Christkindlmarkt support the Harold Griese Scholarship Fund, awarded annually by the Germania Männerchor Foundation to a local high school student pursuing German language studies or choral music in college.
“The Christkindlmarkt is more than a holiday event to celebrate German heritage, it is about investing in the young people who will carry that heritage forward,” said Jody Wassmer, Foundation President. “Every moment spent at Christkindlmarkt helps support a student’s dream. That’s what makes this event truly special.”
