Experience over two million lights, authentic German market, Santa, train rides
– Cambria Christmas Market tickets and overnight stays are on sale now and weekend dates are already going fast, according to event organizers.
“We are so excited for this year’s market and our team is working hard to make this another successful year,” said Mike Arnold, event manager for the Cambria Christmas Market. “We were amazed at how fast tickets and overnight packages went in 2022 and we are expecting to sell out even earlier this year.”
This holiday experience is designed for all ages; attendees can walk through an immersive path packed with more than two million lights, take a train ride, snap a picture with Santa, enjoy live music and a local beer in the Biergarten, taste international cuisine and drink (including gluhwein) and shop for handmade gifts and imported German goods (like handmade nutcrackers) at the authentic German Christmas market booths.
The market starts on Friday, Nov. 24, and runs through Friday, Dec. 23, 5-9 p.m. (closed Mondays and Tuesdays through Dec. 12). Admission ranges from $15-$35 per person ages six and up depending on the evening; children five and under are free. Tickets are available online in advance and tend to sell out quickly. A limited number of VIP parking passes are also available for $35 at the Cambria Nursery, and free shuttles will be provided throughout town.
The neighboring Cambria Nursery and Florist will also participate in the festivities, with thousands of lights, a Christmas Museum, and plenty of shopping opportunities, including imported German Christmas collectibles and ornaments.
