Christmas Village in Baltimore announces it will return to Inner Harbor for the coming 2022 holiday season with its largest footprint ever and a record number of vendors.  Charm City’s beloved holiday tradition is ready to transform West Shore Park (501 Light Street) into a traditional indoor and outdoor German Christmas Market, opening on Thanksgiving, Thursday, November 24th and running through Christmas Eve (December 24th), with a special Preview Weekend on November 19 and 20, 2022. Visitors and locals alike are invited to enjoy big holiday vibes with the return of the 30-foot-tall stunning Christmas Pyramid from the Ore Mountains, the 65-foot-tall illuminated Ferris Wheel, and the Christmas Village Carousel with horses and festive reindeer. Fifty-five local small businesses, makers and international vendors, with something for everyone on Santa’s shopping list. This includes the most vendors in the event's history - with new wooden vendor booths extending along the picturesque Inner Harbor Promenade. 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. Other highlights will include a large selection of Glühwein (mulled wine), the warm glow of the open-air Bratwurst Grill, an expansive outdoor seating area, the Hofbrau Beergarden, photos with Santa Claus, appearances by Gingy the Gingerbread Man, and theme weekends with live entertainment. Foodies will find Raclette Cheese sandwiches, bacon on a stick, wine and beer tastings, all-new spirits tastings, and much more. The traditional German Christkind returns for the first time since before the pandemic on November 26th.
