“G” (Gintare) Kelley

Christmas markets are one of the greatest traditions during the long, dark winters of Germany. They bring people together for a special kind of holiday cheer that can't be found in the hurried pace of shopping malls. I am so excited to experience a Christmas market in Des Moines!

Carissa Stout

A European-style Christmas Market is such a great addition to Des Moines! Educational activities for kids, cultural entertainment and hand-crafted, artisinal products available for purchase from local vendors. All while sipping Glühwein (warm, mulled wine)!
