Our New Home at
Auraria Campus
The Denver Christkindlmarket will be at the Tivoli Quad on Auraria Campus for the 2nd year - and the beloved Mile High Tree is embedded in our footprint again! While construction at Civic Center Park takes place, we’re embracing the holiday spirit in a location rich with German heritage - the historic Tivoli Union building was built by German-born brewer Moritz Sigi in 1870 - making it a perfect fit for our beloved tradition. With easy access to public transportation and plenty of parking, getting to the Market will be as joyful as the experience itself. Come celebrate the season in our new winter wonderland!

Glass Workshops
Step into the magic of German Christkindlmarkets and experience the centuries-old tradition of making glass ornaments with torches or blowing your own ornament. Guided by the master glass artists of Mack Glass, you’ll shape molten glass into your very own holiday ornament - just as artisans in Germany have done for generations. In just 30 minutes, you’ll create a sparkling keepsake that captures both your creativity and the timeless heritage of Christmas glass. A festive, hands-on experience you’ll treasure forever!
The class can accommodate up to 5 people per timeslot, ages 7 and up. Larger groups are welcome to stay and cheer on their friends and family members. No prior experience is needed and the artists ensure everyone's project is successful.
The new Pyramid Bar
New to Denver Christkindlmarket this year, this authentic German-style pyramid bar was handcrafted in Europe and makes its first-ever appearance in the United States. Towering and twinkling with holiday lights, the multi-tiered wooden structure is a true showpiece of old-world craftsmanship and a festive new gathering spot at the market. Sponsored by Jägermeister, it’s the perfect place to raise a glass with friends, soak in the glow of the season, and toast to a Christkindlmarket first.
The Western Carousel
After an amazing success in its first year, we are excited to bring back this stunning attraction — the Western Carousel! This beautifully restored 42' Herschell Carousel features hand-carved horses, intricate details, and the nostalgic charm of a classic ride.
Inspired by the American West of the 1849–1890 era, the carousel showcases bold colors and craftsmanship that evoke adventure and history. It’s perfect for kids experiencing their first ride and adults reliving cherished memories.
Whether you're sipping cocoa, shopping for handcrafted gifts, or enjoying festive performances, the Western Carousel adds a magical touch to your holiday experience.
