Christmas in Germany

11 AM to 4 PM both days

Our annual Open Haus returns with a new name, Christmas in Germany!

Everyone is welcome to experience some of the traditions of German Christmas—Lebkuchen cookies baked by the GAI Damenklub, Haus brewed Glühwein (mulled wine), and German carols sung by the Minnesänger Chorus and 4Winds early music quartet. Seasonal goods will be for sale by various vendors.

Toast the season with a beer or warm up with some hot mulled wine, a bratwurst, or a slice of German cake. Food and drink will be sold outdoors, Weihnachtsmarkt style. Join us for this festive weekend!

Christmas in Germany is free, with food, beverages, and goods for sale.
