INDIANAPOLIS — Beginning on Nov. 25, the Rathskeller Biergarten will transform into a Christkindlmarkt.
It's the first year for the event which will feature 12 vendor huts, traditional German food and a special beer from Sun King Brewery. The vendor huts will feature holiday-specific items, local memorabilia, gifts and more from local artisans and merchants.
“We see this as a very important addition to the city of Indianapolis’s holiday programming," Craig Mince, Athenaeum Foundation president, said. "As a city and as the Athenaeum Foundation, we’re very excited to bring this tradition to the city of Indianapolis moving forward.”
The Christkindlmarkt will open Nov. 25 and operate through Dec. 18.
The market will be open Thursdays through Sundays in December, concluding on Sunday, Dec. 18. Hours will be:
- Thursday – Friday: 5 p.m. – 9 p.m.
