Des Moines’ Christkindlmarket is a free, open‑air celebration with wooden huts, artisan wares and German comfort food across two long weekends: in December 2025.
Set outside Principal Park, it features live music, cultural groups and family activities alongside favourites like bratwurst, pretzels and spiced nuts. With skyline views and a relaxed layout, it’s easy to browse, snack and return with friends on a second weekend. Dress warmly and check the entertainment schedule for choirs and dance troupes. On‑site parking and downtown garages make access straightforward.
