Kristkindlmarkt 2026 – Day 1

Peoria Kristkindlmarkt
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.
