Taking place now through Dec. 24, the Christmas Village in Baltimore is a holiday tradition that delights the young and young at heart. Styled after a traditional German holiday market, the indoor-outdoor market brings together artisans selling everything from mulled wine and bratwurst, to holiday ornaments, to hand-crafted jewelry. It’s a good place to mark a few items off your holiday gift list (and you might have fun picking up something festive for yourself, too), but it’s also a fun outing for the whole family. Kids will enjoy exploring the booths selling toys and candy, and everyone will have a good time tapping their toes to the festive music, live performances, and other special events. 

Market stalls are open daily from 11 am to 7 pm (8 pm on weekends). Be sure to visit the website for exclusive parking deals at nearby garages.
