Christkindl Market in Kitchener, Ontario
Kitchener started it all

Christkindl Market has become a celebrated event in Kitchener since it's beginning in 1996. Located in the Rotunda and also outside of Kitchener's City Hall, the boutiques offer Christmas ornaments, chocolates, toys and gifts for all ages. There are exhibits and food booths (including some unique refreshments like "Gl�hwein"), with delicacies to suit every taste.

It starts with a fascinating candlelight procession with Maria and Joseph, a real donkey (and llama) and has shows, music, carols, and activities throughout its 4 days in December. The market was the idea and initiative of one of our members, Tony Bergmeier. The market grows ever more successful with every year and in the short time of its existence has become a tradition for Kitchener residents and the growing numbers of visitors.

Many of our members contribute to the success of this event, and our Association further adds to the spirit with an outdoor booth, offering delicious lintel soup, Bienenstich and other baked specialties, soft drinks, hot chocolate, and coffee.
