DENVER | DOWNTOWN / Auraria Campus
Denver Christkindlmarket
NOV 20 through December 23rd
The Rockstar Verdict
Denver's authentic German-style Christmas market featuring handmade artisan gifts, European food, and hot spiced wine.
Cancel your basic mall shopping and get ready to experience a true European holiday tradition right in the heart of downtown. The Denver Christkindlmarket has taken over the Tivoli Quad Click to open side panel for more information on the Auraria Campus, turning it into a massive, authentic German-style winter wonderland. Walk through rows of traditional wooden huts featuring local and international artisans selling incredible handmade gifts, ornaments, and apparel. But the real reason everyone goes is the food—grab a massive pretzel, sizzling bratwurst, potato pancakes, and a steaming mug of traditional Glühwein (hot spiced wine). With live music, dancing, and the historic Tivoli brewery as a backdrop, this is the absolute best way to soak up the holiday spirit in Colorado.
Open Daily | Mon - Thurs: 1:00 PM – 9:00 PM | Fri - Sun: 11:00 AM – 9:00 PM (Festival Hall open until 10 PM)
VIP Tip
FREE ADMISSION / TAKE THE LIGHT RAIL (Admission to the market is totally free! Skip the expensive campus parking fees by taking the RTD light rail to the Colfax at Auraria or Auraria West stations—it's only a 5-minute walk to the Tivoli Quad. Go on a weekday evening for shorter lines at the food stalls, and don't forget to grab your Glühwein in the collectible mug!).
