What to expect
This is an outdoor market in the European tradition, with a Cincinnati twist. You walk between food and drink stalls, shop for gifts, and listen to choruses and live music under holiday lights. Themed characters visit through the season. A holiday ice rink sits on the lawn, and a 220-foot boardwalk of private igloos looks out over the crowd. Dress for the cold.
Why go
The market is free to walk through, so it works for a short stop or a whole evening. It suits families, and it also suits friends who want a mug of glühwein by the river. Special days add to the calendar, including the US Steinholding National Championships and German Day with the German American Citizens League. Cincinnati Lager House is next door for a sit-down meal when you need to warm up.
