## About

Christmas Village in Baltimore transforms West Shore Park at the scenic Inner Harbor into an authentic, traditional German Christmas market modeled after Nuremberg's world-renowned Christkindlesmarkt. Over 50 traditional wooden vendor huts line the waterfront plaza, strung with thousands of warm golden lights and festive evergreen boughs. Families can wander among international craft artisans offering handcrafted Käthe Wohlfahrt German wooden ornaments, nutcrackers, blown-glass baubles, and handcrafted toys.

Family Experience & Accessibility:
• Stroller Accessibility: Broad, flat paved waterfront promenades and wide aisles inside the heated main festival tent accommodate strollers, double strollers, and wagons easily.
• Food & Treats for Little Ones: Children love fresh sweet Bavarian gingerbread, warm Belgian waffles topped with powdered sugar and berries, crispy potato pancakes, and hot mulled spiced cider in collectible ceramic holiday mugs.
• Family Attractions: Kids can ride the historic 65-foot illuminated waterfront Ferris wheel overlooking the harbor and spin on the vintage painted wooden carousel. A dedicated children's craft tent offers free ornament decorating and regular weekend visits from the traditional German Christkind and Santa Claus.
• Restrooms & Nursing: Heated indoor restrooms with baby-changing tables are available directly inside the heated festival tent and at the nearby Baltimore Visitor Center.
