Christmas Village in Baltimore Announces Return to Inner Harbor for 2021 Holiday Season

Christmas Village in Baltimore announces it will return to Inner Harbor for the coming 2021 holiday season. After being cancelled due to the mandatory shut-down last year, the traditional German Christmas Market again will light up West Shore Park from Thanksgiving (November 25th) through Christmas Eve (December 24th), with a special preview weekend planned for November 20 and 21, 2021. This beloved annual Charm City tradition will feature 50+ local small businesses, makers and international vendors, with something for everyone on Santa’s shopping list. Come ready to shop for toys, apparel, jewelry, decorations, home decor, artwork and much more. Famous German vendor Käthe Wohlfahrt will return with thousands of glass ornaments, nutcrackers, pyramids and limited-edition holiday decorations. Vendors will be located outside in traditional festively-decorated wooden huts, plus inside the giant heated festival tent. The 65 ft. tall Ferris Wheel, located right next to the Baltimore Visitor Center, will be returning in its full glory to add to the holiday and festive vibes. For foodies, get ready to follow the delicious smell of gingerbread and freshly charcoal-grilled brats. The full menu of European and German foods is back, with freshly grilled Bratwurst with a side of homemade Sauerkraut, Schnitzel with Potato Salad, Leberkäse (German meatloaf), Raclette Cheese and of course, the delicious Pretzels! The Pyramid, a German Christmas Tower from the Ore Mountains, will return with a large selection of Glühwein (mulled wine), hot spiked beverages and kid-friendly favorites. Food and drinks can be enjoyed either inside at the Hofbräu Beergarden, or at the cozy outdoor seating area “The Alm.” Come hungry as Christmas Village will serve up something for everyone this year!

HEALTH AND SAFETY MEASURES

For the health and safety of visitors, vendors and staff, Christmas Village in Baltimore organizers return with experience and protocols they instituted at the sister market last year, in Philadelphia’s LOVE Park. They will bring all that they learned and work hand-in-hand with the City of Baltimore to ensure that everybody involved can experience Christmas Village in a safe manner. Specific measures will be announced with the full season details, coming in late October and early November. Stay tuned for more information.
