Kristkindlmarkt 2025 – Day 1

Peoria Kristkindlmarkt at Expo Gardens in Peoria!
Sponsored by Harmonie Concordia

Kristkindlmarkts or German Christmas Markets are a centuries old tradition beginning in the 15th Century.  This is typically an outdoor street market associated with the celebration of Christmas during the four weeks of Advent.  Originally the market was held to bring church-goers together to share homemade Christmas crafts such as nutcrackers, tree ornaments, toys, and more.  The Christmas markets have over the year expanded to many other European countries and more recently to the United States. 

Experience Old World Christmas Magic at the Peoria Kristkindlmarkt!  The event will be held at Expositions Gardens, 1601 W Northmoor Rd, Peoria, IL 61614.  The event will be for two days.

Admission is free!
