A Medieval Christmas Tradition

Join us every November for a Christmas adventure that brings you back 700 years into an honored medieval tradition. The air fills with the fragrance of sizzling bratwursts, schnitzel, sweet breads, roasted nuts, and hot spiced Glühwein — alongside decorated booths selling Christmas ornaments, hand crafts, German cookies, chocolates, and Stollen.

Six live performances of Medieval Christmas customs round out the day, all performed by HSB members. All are welcome. We ask for a donation from adults, with a portion donated to Newington families in need this holiday season.
