Kennett Square Holiday Village Market

Of all the adjectives used to describe the Kennett Square Holiday Village Market at The Creamery, “magical” seems the most apt. The event recreates the atmosphere of the German Christkindlmarkt, which traces its history back to the Middle Ages. Local tradespeople sold their handcrafted wares at these markets where local food and drink were also sold—giving the market in each town its own distinctive flavor and character. What Christkindlmarkts have in common across Europe today is this magical ambiance—beautiful lighting, crisp air carrying the suggestion or promise of snow, the sweet and spicy aroma of Glühwein (mulled wine), the timeless anticipation of holiday celebrations.

For the first two weekends in December every year, the Kennett Square Holiday Village Market brings the Christkindlmarkt experience to Southern Chester County. Dozens of artisan and vintage vendors are at the heart of the event, each stall a tiny feast of beautiful and unique handcrafted items that promise to delight the recipient and bring a sprinkling of this magic home.

Live music, ice sculpture demonstrations, fire pits, s’mores, Santa Claus, food trucks, handcrafted and warming festive drinks and cocktails from The Creamery, and more are all part of the Kennett Square Holiday Village Market experience.
