Enjoy a unique shopping experience at our Christkindlmarkt

Christkindlmarkts (Christ Child Markets) are street markets held in Germany and Austria in the Advent season preceeding Christmas.

Items you’ll find at a Christkindlmarkt include all sorts of Christmas decorations, handmade wooden toys and crafts and traditional German Christmas delicacies including lebkuchenherzen, the gingerbread hearts. 

At St. Benedict, we decided to get a head start on the Christmas shopping season by holding a Christkindlmarkt in conjunction with our popular Oktoberfest.

At Christkindlmarkt , you will experience a unique shopping experience with arts and crafters from all over the region showcasing their best work.

Pick up a gift for a friend, a trinket for yourself or get a head start on your Christmas shopping. Our merchants include:
