A Handmade Christmas

Frankenmuth is fondly known by some as "Christmas Town, USA." Here's one of the top reasons why.

For years, the Frankenmuth Farmers Market has hosted the largest Christmas market in Saginaw County, known as Frankenmuth Christkindlmarkt. This traditional Christmas market, modeled after those held in Germany's sister region, brings a touch of magic to the city each year. It's full of artisans selling handmade gifts and goods.

This year, ChristKindlMarkt will take place over Thanksgiving weekend at Heritage Park, just outside of the Harvey Kern Pavilion.

Friday, November 28th from 4:00 - 9:00 PM

Saturday, November 29th from 10:00 AM - 8:00 PM

Sunday, November 30th from 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM

We hope you will join us in Frankenmuth this holiday season and enjoy the Frankenmuth ChristKindlMarkt.

Give Christmas Cheer by Volunteering at the Annual ChristKindlMarkt

To pull off one of the largest Christmas markets in the area, we need a lot of help. Consider helping at the event for a few hours. You'll meet a lot of happy shoppers and help the Farmers Market pull off an awesome event that helps fund our mission. Or, if you aren't able to help us on the day, consider joining our planning committee!

Without the help of our local and neighboring area businesses, Frankenmuth ChristKindlMarkt and the Frankenmuth Farmers Market wouldn't be what it is! We want to thank our previous sponsors for supporting this annual event.
