05 Nov Carmel Christkindlmarkt
The holidays are more magical than ever in Hamilton County, Indiana. Old-world holiday charm comes to Carmel, Indiana, at the Carmel Christkindlmarkt (pronounced Chris-t-Kindle-Mark-t) in 2025.
Beneath twinkling lights, browse more than 50 wooden huts selling authentic products imported from Germany, like wooden toys, nutcrackers, music boxes, ornaments and more. Dont miss the collectible items like the boot mug and Bierkrüge for adult beverages. While youre shopping, sip a hot mug of Glühwein (mulled wine) or hot cocoa. Come hungry to enjoy a German pretzel, Bratwurst, Lebkuchen (German cookie), Raclette (melted cheese served on bread) and Stollen (dried fruit bread). The smells of Glühwein, sausages, sweets and much more will greet you as you browse unique German handmade and quality gifts. No admission charge.
