Carmel Christkindlemarkt
Carmel Christkindlemarkt
We all have been waiting way too long for the return of the
Carmel Christkindlemarkt after it was canceled in 2020. Rated the top Christmas
market in Indiana by the Taste of Home Magazine in 2017, with over half a
million visitors, we can only expect the return of the Carmel Christkindlemarkt
to be something special this year! The Carmel Christkindlemarkt starts on
November 20th and goes on until December 24th. Times for the market are
Wednesday and Thursday 4:00 pm to 9:00 pm and Friday, Saturday, Sunday 12:00 pm
to 9:00 pm, with special hours November 24th, 12:00 pm to 9:00 pm, December
20th through 23rd 12:00 pm to 9:00 pm and December 24th, 12:00 pm to 3:00 pm.
The market is located: at 10 Carter Green, Carmel, Indiana.
With over 50 different
vendors, there is something to do for the whole family. Many of the attractions
consist of; food and beverages, gift shops, ice skating, and designated photo
spots. Some of the favorite traditional foods you can see at the market are
Laugenbrezul (a German pretzel), Wursts (a German specialty sausage), Radette
(a German swiss dish), Lebkuchen (a German cookie similar to gingerbread),
Stollen (a German fruit bread), and Gluhuen (a hot German mulled wine). There
will also be many traditional German gifts like; nutcrackers, pyramids, candle
arches, incense smokers, Moravian stars, angels, music boxes, nativities, and
ornaments. The Carmel Christkindlemarkt also brought a Gluhwein Pyramid in 2018
that continues to come back. The Gluhwein Pyramid is the 1st of its kind in the
United States as well. The ice skating at the market is another attraction that
brings in many people. The outdoor rink is like a scene out of a movie.
According to many of the reviews of the Carmel Christkindlemarkt Yelp page, the
market makes you feel as though you are in a Hallmark movie. The admission to
skate for adults, it is $9, for kids, it is $6, and there is a $3 rental fee
for skates. Reservations are also recommended for the ice rink since
there is only a certain amount of skaters allowed on the rink at once.
The Carmel Christkindlemarkt
was founded in 2017 by a nonprofit and since has blown up to be, a can’t miss
event every holiday season. This year the market will be sponsored by Indiana
German Heritage Society, City of Carmel, Ice Miller Legal Counsel, Washington
Independent Investment Counsel, Indiana Historical Society, Carmel Clay
Schools, Studio M Architecture & Planning, Hotel Carmichael, and CL Coonrod
