Willkommen!
Immerse yourself in a delightful blend of cultural tradition and holiday cheer as a vendor at our 2nd annual German Christmas Market. The Amherst German Christmas Market is a volunteer-run, nonprofit event inspired by the enchanting “Weihnachtsmärkte”, outdoor Christmas markets that have been a staple of German tradition since the Middle Ages.
Last year, we welcomed an estimated 8,000-10,000 attendees, many of whom traveled from out-of-state to experience the unique fusion of foreign culture and Christmas fun. This year, we are going bigger and better!
Set to take place on Dec. 9, 2023, from 10:00am to 7:00pm (rain or shine), we will feature live musical performances, a visit from Santa Claus, stunning festive light displays, a bustling biergarten, and much more. Our market is a free, family-friendly event that warmly welcomes all to partake in the festivities.
As a vendor, you will not only contribute to the joyous holiday spirit but also have the opportunity to showcase your products or services to a diverse and enthusiastic crowd. Your participation will play a crucial role in making this community event a magical experience for all attendees.
