Christkindl on Main

2019

We may not be able to have a Christkindlmarkt this year but that won't stop us from having gemütlichkeit!

Hudson-Landsberg Sister City is pleased to announce our first Christkindl on Main, a safe event for the family during these uncertain times. 

December 12 & 13

Saturday from 12-4

Sunday from 12-4

Glühwein and Cider have been canceled. Please find recipes on our Facebook Page

Event Canceled

Thank you for all the support this year. We tried to bring the city and its citizens another magical event but the current health crisis makes it impossible for us to responsibly host an event. 

Please consider giving your patronage to our vendors - contact information below. With so many events canceled this year, they would appreciate your help.

The Hudson Christkindlmarkt will be back next year! May you find Gemütlichkeit until then.

Organized by Hudson Montessori

While we will not be able to have any vendors at our event this year, we encourage you to find them online and support these local artists. Consider supporting a local artist for your gift and gastro needs this holiday season. See links below!

Meet our Vendors!
