The Arizona Center for Germanic Cultures is suspending its annual Christkindlmarkt -- a traditional German Christmas market -- in 2022.

The Christkindlmarkt – a celebration held throughout Germany and Central Europe  since the Middle Ages – brings cherished German and Austrian traditions to Scottsdale Airpark with holiday entertainment, German and Polish cuisine, vendors and local artisans selling merchandise like candles and Christmas ornaments, and activities and entertainment for the whole family! Admission is free.

Browse through traditional handicrafts, including handmade candles, knitted wares, and ornaments.  Enjoy traditional Christmas food and beverage specialties from Germany, including bratwurst and wieners, sauerkraut, potato pancakes, cabbage and sausage stew,  "Lebcake" style gingerbread cookies (Lebkuchen), German Christmas cookies, hot mulled wine (Gluehwein), hot apple cider, hot cocoa, and German winter beer from Warsteiner.

Entertainment includes traditional Christmas music, a special appearance by the Christkindl and Saint Nikolaus with gifts for the children in attendance.
