Old Colorado City Christkindlmarket
The Magic Begins December 4!
The Old Colorado City Christkindlmarket is back, and it’s bigger and merrier than ever for 2026!
Last year, this authentic German holiday market brought a little old-world Christmas magic to Colorado Springs. Presented by the German American Chamber of Commerce – Colorado Chapter and building on 25 years of success with Denver’s Christkindlmarket, the market brings a cherished European tradition to the heart of Historic Old Colorado City.
This year, the market is growing! Expect a closed-off side street, twice as many handcrafted wooden vendor huts, and an expanded Bank of America Alpenhütte, a cozy heated tent with live entertainment on stage every night.
What to Expect
Handcrafted gifts and holiday treasures from local vendors and artists
Authentic German food and treats
Warm Glühwein and festive drinks
Live music and cultural entertainment in the heated Alpenhütte
Holiday cheer for the whole family
