GUTEN MORGEN!! The anticipation is over and our Nikolausmarkt is finally here! 🇩🇪 🎄

Get ready for a weekend full of fun! We've got an incredible lineup of vendors, tasty food, exciting performances, activities for kids, and the German American Central Society Inc joining us for the festivities.

We know the weather is going to be cold, enjoy the warming station located on Chestnut Street. You can also visit the surrounding shops/restaurants to heat up and support small business this weekend.

(Thank you Tanners Orchard for your sponsorship of the Nikolaus 5k and the 5k refreshment table! We are grateful for your donations.)

Let the holiday season begin! 🎅

It's beginning to look a lot like Nikolausmarkt.🎄 You may have noticed the installment of our Chalets down at City Park-thank you, Boondock Barns! Our committee decided to name the 8 chalets after Santa's reindeer. DID YOU KNOW-Donner and Blitzen mean thunder and lightning in the German language?🦌

We can hardly wait to see the park full of vendors, holiday spirit, families, and more.😍

Take pictures this weekend and tag !
