| Experience the magic of Christmas in Germany right here in central Indiana. Located just north of Indianapolis, the Carmel Christkindlmarkt features authentic, traditional German food and drinks, including raclette, pretzels, wursts, Handbrot, Döner, and, or course, Glühwein - a hot, mulled wine that's sure to warm you up on a cold winter day. Along with the eats and treats, shop dozens of gift huts with handmade goods ranging from nutcrackers and incense smokers to ornaments, pottery, chocolate, and more. The Carmel Christkindlmarkt is open through December 24, and is closed most Mondays and Tuesdays as well as Thanksgiving. It is free to attend with no tickets required*, and parking is free as well. There is also a free shuttle service on weekends for those wanting a quicker parking experience. |
