 The Christkindl Market of Bryan opened for the 2024 season on Friday, November 29, running Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 4:00-8:00 p.m. through December 21. It is located on the square in downtown Bryan, Ohio, and includes a European-style outdoor market, hot food and beverage options, visits with Santa, horse-drawn wagon rides and nightly entertainment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year\u2019s market features 14 vendor chalets with products ranging from locally-produced honey and hand-poured candles to specialty Christmas d\u00e9cor items imported from Europe. The market also includes St. Nick\u2019s Snak Haus, a food and beverage chalet that serves hot cocoa, coffee and traditional German treats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s hard to believe we\u2019re entering the fourth year of the Christkindl Market. Each year, we try to add something new and improve what we\u2019ve done in the past. This year is no exception,\u201d said Ann Spangler, committee member. \u201cLook for our new Kakao Hutte for specialty hot cocoas, along with new events including Hispanic Heritage Night and a live nativity. Being named one of Ohio\u2019s Best Hometowns by Ohio Magazine has us all excited to show even more visitors how we \u2018live the sweet life\u2019 here in Bryan.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each night of the market, guests can enjoy free activities and entertainment. Some of this year\u2019s highlights include a live nativity on December 6; Hispanic Heritage Night, with a performance by El Corazon de Mexico Ballet Folklorico, on December 7; a live reindeer visit on December 20; and the Bryan Area Foundation\u2019s Festival of Trees on various nights.

Created in 2021, the Christkindl Market of Bryan is a beloved community tradition under the beautiful lights of the courthouse square. There is no admission fee, parking is free, and many businesses around the square offer specials and extended hours on market nights to enhance the visitor experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Christkindl Market of Bryan is a project of Bryan Development, which focuses on economic activity, preservation and growth. This non-profit event is made possible through the generous support of corporate and individual sponsors, including the 2024 presenting sponsor, Bryan Area Foundation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
