German American Festival and Event Page- December

German American Festival and Event Page for December!
Take a look at our list!

Christmas Markets are gearing up! KrampusFests are happening! And there are a lot of German Christmas Services.

You’ll find another list of German Christmas Markets here.

See the Full Calendar HERE

Do you know of any Events or German Festival that’s not on the list? Maybe a concert or lecture? Perhaps an online zoom talk, or a museum presentation. I also list Christmas Services in German (I’m working hard to update this… many churches seem to have changed their services)  Send me an email at [email protected]…. it would be helpful if you could include a link to the event. I’ll post the information and pass it on for everyone to see.

As always, double check the linked sites for any schedule changes!
