2024 Marktengel

Become a Christkindlmarket Des Moines “Marktengel!”

Do you enjoy the thought of a warm mug of freshly mulled Glühwein OR a mug of frosty European beer while strolling through a European-themed Christmas market? Yeah… we thought so.

Iowans have had the unique opportunity to witness the birth and growth of their very own European Christmas market known as Christkindlmarket Des Moines (CDM). Our nonprofit’s mission is to connect Iowans with European traditions, language learning and cultural experiences.

To ensure that CDM thrives, please consider becoming a CDM Marktengel (market angel). For just $25, you can be a part of something that brings holiday cheer and cherished memories in 2024 and beyond. And, as a special thank-you for your donation, we’ll reserve a limited-edition 2024 CDM Glühwein mug OR a limited-edition 2024 CDM .5L acrylic beer stein for you before they run out at this year’s market.

Earn your “halo” today by becoming a CDM Marktengel. It’s a good deed that can keep Christkindlmarket Des Moines alive and growing for years to come!

Vielen Dank,
Suzanne Hull, CDM Director
