This season, the City of Toledo is bringing something brand new to downtown — a holiday market inspired by the traditional German Christkindlmarkt, celebrating cultures from around the world with local flair.

Stroll through twinkling lights on Friday and Saturday, sip warm mulled wine, and discover handmade gifts, international foods, and performances. Each booth and performance tells a story, from art and music to food and tradition. Explore the unique offerings from these participating cultures and partners.
