We are thrilled to be gearing up for Christkindlmarket 2024. This year’s market sees the return of patron favorites and new vendors to enchant and excite! The CDM Silent Auction is following suit! We have seven returning nonprofits and five new organizations waiting to showcase amazing trees for our market goers to bid on, take home, and enjoy for the remainder of the holiday season.
The Silent Auction will begin the first day of the market, Thursday, December 5th at 5pm and conclude Sunday, December 8th at 5pm. Winning bidders will be notified via our text-to-bid platform and all trees will be wrapped and ready for pick up between 5:30pm and 7:30 pm Sunday evening in the roundabout adjacent to the market directly following the end of Christkindlmarket 2024.
Keep checking out this blog for features on each participating organization!
