The Christmas Village in Baltimore is a combination of an outdoor and indoor holiday market at West Shore Park at the Inner Harbor. The event is modeled after the traditional Christmas Markets in Germany, like the famous Christkindl Market in Nuremberg. Vendors in wooden booths sell traditional European food, sweets, and drinks. You will also find great shopping opportunities with a large variety of international holiday gifts, ornaments, and jewelry, as well as high-quality arts and crafts. |

| The outdoor area around the Walter Sondheim Fountain and along the Inner Harbor Promenade will bring the original Christmas Village charm with its traditional German style wooden huts to Baltimore. In addition, a heated festival tent will create a Christmas-y shopping atmosphere with more vendors, a food court and an event space. The unique atmosphere with thousands of lights, the big Gluhwine Pyramid, the delicious smell of waffles, gingerbread, bratwurst and mulled wine gets you into the Christmas spirit! |
