Join us in November each year for a Christmas adventure that, in a few hours, brings you back 700 years into an honored medieval tradition. Our Christkindlmarkt showcases handmade crafts and works of art by the finest artisans, the heart-warming sounds and sights of live Christmas music and pageantry, delicious German food specialties.
It's a delightful way to experience and begin the holiday season in Connecticut. The air fills with the fragrance of sizzling bratwursts, schnitzel, sweet breads and pastries, roasted/candied nuts, and hot spiced Glühwein.
Decorated booths sell wonderful Christmas decorations, hand crafts, and a variety of sweet treats, i.e. German cakes, cookies, chocolates, pastries, and sweet dough breads called Stollen. There will be live music and 6 live performances of Medieval Christmas customs. All the performers are HSB members.
All are welcomed - bring a friend or two! For more information call (860) 953.8967. We ask for a donation from adults with a portion donated to Newington for those who are in need this holiday season.
