The Sister Bay Historical Society will host its second Christkindlmarkt Door County Nov. 25-27, Dec. 2-4 and Dec. 9-11 at the Corner of the Past Museum. The festive weekend events will showcase artisans selling handcrafted, locally made goods, as well as food vendors selling German and Nordic fare and drinks, including hot mulled red wine, known as Glühwein in Germany and Austria, and Glögg in Sweden.

Live Christmas music during this year’s Christkindlmarkt will be performed in the event’s food barn. The Gibraltar Area School’s choir and concert band, under the direction of Mary Bondeson and Charlie Eckhardt, will perform Nov. 26, Dec. 3 and Dec. 10, 12-2 pm; and David Watkins will play selections from his collection of rare vinyl Christmas albums Nov. 25-26, Dec. 2-3 and Dec. 9-10, 3-5 pm.
