Frankenmuth ChristKindlMarkt, Frankenmuth, Michigan
Since every Michigander uses their left hand as a map of the Mitten State, hold yours up and touch the fleshy spot between your index finger and thumb.
That’s where our next European-style Christmas market takes you! Roughly 30 minutes south of Saginaw, in a charming town known as Michigan’s Little Bavaria, the Frankenmuth ChristKindlMarkt is open on weekends between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day.
There isn’t an admission fee to explore the open-air market that unites over 40 gift and food vendors at the Frankenmuth Farmers Market pavilion on Main Street. And don’t forget to pack some warm boots for this one. Here are our favorites from Amazon!
Great Dickens Christmas Fair, San Francisco, California
For 5 weekends starting in the middle of November, you can be transported back in time to Victorian London through The Great Dickens Christmas Fair in San Francisco.
You’ll likely forget which century, or city for that matter, you’re in as you stroll around the lamplit lanes of this not-so-wintery wonderland with characters the renowned Charles Dickens himself created.
Venues from music halls to shops get into the spirit of Christmas with festive-themed activities and events. And while at this European-style Christmas market, follow your nose to the delicious-smelling cart serving freshly roasted organic chestnuts in traditional paper cones.
