ROUND-TRIP DAY BUS TRIP TO MIFFLINBURG CHRISTKINDL MARKET
(Special Historical Presentation & Background included)

In Germany & much of Europe, the Christkind (Christ-child)
brings the gifts to children (young & old) ...
and the day of its arrival is mostly December 24, Christmas Eve.

Join us as we travel to “Christkindl Market,”
Mifflinburg’s version of the legendary German Christmas Markets
(Weihnachtsmärkte) in Nürnberg (Nuremberg), Rothenburg, Würzburg,
and cities/towns all over Bavaria & Germany.

The air is filled with the enticing aroma of freshly baked
Weihnachts-Stollen (Christmas fruit-cake), Lebkuchen (gingerbread)
Apfel-Strudel, ​hot chocolate, German Bratwurst, goulash, gourmet coffees,
and the traditional German Glühwein (hot spiced wine).

The leitmotiv, or recurring theme, in each year's Market is a tradition
that is unique to the Mifflinburg Christkindl Market.
The leitmotiv features a story or culturally significant icon
from a featured city in Germany or Austria.
After 2022's theme/city Munich ... 
​
Mifflinburg Christkindl Market has not announced this 2023's theme yet,
but we'll add this information here as soon as we know.
