2022 Christkindlmarkt
Old World Christkindlmarkt at the Flint Hills Shakespeare Festival grounds in St. Marys, Kansas, is a Christmas market that follows many centuries of European tradition, mostly German and partially French. Festively decorated, open air stalls, usually in the city centers, sell handcrafted, high quality, artisanal gifts in preparation for Christmas during the Advent season to shoppers who enjoy the beautiful ambiance. Visitors imbibe warm mulled wine type drinks such as Gluhwein (usually in themed collectable mugs), and eat traditional Christkindlmarkt foods. For more information on such Markets from around the world, please see the Wikipedia page here.
