Bethlehem's Christkindlmarkt will return to the SteelStacks campus for its 34th season, with market days scheduled from November 13 through December 20, 2026. The event combines artisan stalls, seasonal food and entertainment with a focus on handmade gifts and holiday decor.
Discover Lehigh Valley's current event listing confirms the six 2026 date blocks and says German ornament maker Käthe Wohlfahrt is returning. Secret NYC reported on October 11 that the market features more than 200 artisans and crafters, and highlighted the ornament maker's Bavarian-style ornaments and nutcrackers. ArtsQuest, the organizer, also lists the 2026 dates and describes the event as a German-inspired market with artisan vendors at the historic SteelStacks campus.
