WHAT TO EXPECT AT
WELCOME!
When you enter Kristkindl Village, you will be welcomed by one of our Greeters, Always with a pleasant smile and warm welcome, you will be given a Passport to our event which has a map, menu, entertainment schedule and info about the event.
BIER GARTEN
As you wander through the streets of Kristkindl Village, you will be tempted by the delicious aroma of the tasty food we serve in the food line. Grab a tasty meal and head into our own Bier Garten. Our social hall is transformed with decor and live entertainment playing your favorite holiday carols and polkas to whisk you into a true German holiday mood. We offer German style beer and Gluhvein (Mulled Spiced Wine) to go with your meal. Sit back and enjoy the food and atmosphere. If you feel like dancing, there's a space near the stage to show your polka skills!
GINGERBREAD HOUSE DECORATING
(ALL proceeds go to Operation Breakthrough)
In the Gingerbread House Decorating Room, children of all ages are supplied with the house frames, candy, and frosting to decorate an actually assembled Gingerbread House! You supply your imagination to create a masterpiece (or just nibble on a few candies - we won’t judge)! There is no time or imagination limit to create some awesome houses. It’s free to join in the fun, but please consider making a donation; all proceeds go to KC’s Operation Breakthrough to help make the holiday season magical for all children.
BÄKEREI (BAKERY)
At the Bäkerei, we sell our famous "cookies by the pound." Select your own assortment of cookies from our vast selection of homemade, made from scratch cookies. We'll weigh them and you may purchase the amount in quarters of a pound increments. We also have other sweet treats available for purchase. You can't go wrong with anything on the table you point your finger at. Our biggest competition are the Girl Scouts and their cookies aren't made from scratch!
CHRISTMAS DECORATION FLEA MARKET
You'll never know what treasures may be found at the flea market. The items are unmarked so pick your decorative item and offer a fair price. All are one of a kind purchases (unless you have a matching item at home). It’s a great place to find a replacement decoration for a broken one at home or an ornament from your youth.
WEIHNACHTSMANN (FATHER CHRISTMAS)
Our Father Christmas roams the event wishing all a Merry Christmas and may hand out candy canes to children of all ages at the event.
Be prepared, as Father Christmas enjoys being photographed with you, your family and friends!
COMMUNITY VENDORS
Shop from the many special artisans and crafters for holiday and other gifts for your friends and family - and maybe something special for yourself! Some of our vendors return every year while others may be appearing for the first time. They appreciate your stopping and admiring their booths and will gladly help you find the perfect gift for that difficult someone on your list.
