17th Annual Wintermarkt |
Arts and Music |
Event Description: |
Wintermarkt, the reimagining of a traditional German festival called Christkindlmarkt!
It takes place on Saturday, Dec. 2, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., in the charming city neighborhood of Skinker DeBaliviere, just north of Forest Park and a short walk from the Delmar Loop.
Visitors from across the St. Louis Region will enjoy German-inspired treats, a music stage and local artisans selling their handmade goods, nestled in one of St. Louis’ most diverse and friendliest neighborhoods.
“The event is ideal for those looking for one-of-a-kind holiday gifts,” says Andy Cross, one of the organizers of the event. Visitors will find vendors selling such items as jewelry, art, handmade crafts, candles, Christmas ornaments and locally produced honey.
A variety of musical groups will perform throughout the day along with a blacksmith demonstration.
To keep visitors warm on what could be a cold day, there will be roasted chestnuts, barbeque, soup, glühwein (mulled wine) and hot apple cider. A classic German beer will also be provided by local brewery, Schlafly.
Wintermarkt takes place at Greg Freeman Park, 6008 Kingsbury Avenue.
The event will go on regardless of the weather conditions. Wintermarkt is presented by the Skinker DeBaliviere Community Council. |
