A Bit of History: The Christkindlmarkt tradition dates back centuries in Germany and Austria. These markets are known for their festive atmosphere, delicious food, and unique crafts. Traditionally held in town squares, they feature the Christkind, a golden-haired angel who brings Christmas cheer. Sacramento’s Christkindlmarkt carries on this beloved tradition, creating a truly authentic experience.
