Heurich House Christmas Markt

About the Event

The Heurich House Museum curates a multi-day holiday market in its "Castle Garden." Inspired by traditional German Christmas markets, but starring local DMV makers, the event features dozens of local vendors annually. For the first time ever, Christmas Markt will be held for an entire week from Friday, December 6th to Friday, December 13th.

Stroll through the museum’s festive holiday craft market with a Glühwein in hand and find the perfect holiday gifts for your loved ones. Over the week-long celebration, Christmas Markt will feature 60+ local small-scale artisan makers and more. (More information located on the ticket page!)

Christmas Markt As Part Of Maker Month

For The Second Year, Christmas Markt Is Part Of Maker Month, A Month-Long Showcase Starting November 15th. Maker Month Will Feature Holiday House Tours, Artisan-Led Workshops, Free Craft Stations, An Interior Design Panel, And Discussions With Our Preservation Team About Historic Craftsmanship, All Culminating In The Christmas Markt.

Christmas Markt And Maker Month Are Driven By The Museum’s Belief That House Museums Should Be Dynamic And Relevant To Our Modern Communities. In 2020, The Museum Officially Established Its Urban Manufacturer Incubator Program To Serve Our Small Local Manufacturers. The Program Builds Upon The 130 Year Legacy Of Craftspeople And Makers At The Heurich House - Those Who Built The Historic Home And Those Who Have Offered Their Crafts Over The Last Decade.
