The History of a seasonal Market in Europe around the time of the Winter Solstice and Christmas Celebration is as old as recorded history. But in Germany it has been documented that the traditional markets held at this time have been going on, in some parts, since the 1400’s. These markets were usually held in the established fortified towns that had a large central market area and support from the nobility and trades people. Although at this time almost every town in Germany and many in Europe hold Christmas Markets, the most famous and traditionally well known is the Nürnberg Christkindlemarkt. We are honored to continue the tradition and have such a valued representative grace our market in Denver. For additional information please contact us at
