Denver Christkindlmarket

About This Event

The Denver Christkindlmarket is an authentic, German-style holiday market featuring local and European craft and food vendors, live entertainment, and festive experiences for all ages. The 2026 season marks the market’s 25th Anniversary at its new home on Auraria Campus, bringing added holiday magic with attractions such as a carousel and glass ornament workshops. Visitors can stroll through wooden vendor huts, enjoy German specialties such as Glühwein and Bier, shop for handmade gifts and ornaments, and relax in the Festival Hall with live music and holiday performances. The market is free and open to the public and is designed to be a must-see (and must-taste) holiday experience for families, friends, and visitors to Denver. Table reservations for the Festival Hall will be available again in November 2026, and an entertainment calendar with scheduled performances will be published closer to the season. Over 40 vendors can be explored via an interactive market and vendor map. The market is outdoors on the Tivoli Quad with a covered/heated Festival Hall area, twinkling lights, and a traditional European Christmas market atmosphere.
