Overview
Join us in kicking off the 2025 Carmel Christkindlmarkt season with a full day of celebration and holiday cheer! Opening Day will be filled with festive activities, including live music from polka performer and award-winning vocalist Mollie B from 12-2 pm, visits with real reindeer and a special appearance by the 2025 Christkind Scholarship winner. At noon, we'll mark the official start of the season with our inaugural opening bell.
As evening falls, gather for the annual Tree Lighting Ceremony at 6-6:45 pm, a heartwarming tradition that lights up Carter Green and welcomes the holiday season in spectacular style. Experience the holiday magic of the tree being lit for the first time. Enjoy live performances, remarks, and a countdown as part of the festivities.
Opening Day is the perfect way to step into the spirit of the season!
