(209)

There is no fee for admission, however donations are appreciated. Mifflinburg's version of an authentic Christmas Market, inspired by the 700-year-old traditional German Christkindl Markt, or Christ Child Market, is a festive event prepared by various churches, organizations, schools, and residents. For three days, Mifflinburg's Market Street, with its many churches, is lined with festive outdoor

huts featuring unique handmade crafts and traditional Christkindl treats. The air is filled with the enticing aroma of roasted almonds, hot chocolate, Hungarian goulash, savory sausages, gourmet coffees, and hot spiced wine. Sample the delicious Christmas cookies, desserts, and the traditional German Lebkuchen (gingerbread) hearts. Catch the spirit of the season as glorious holiday music is performed on outdoor stages and in our churches. It is truly a good time for the entire family.

Today, Saturday, December 13 is the final day of the market this year. We are open until 8 PM.

If you’re making plans to come to the Christkindl Market, here’s what you need to know for parking and shuttle information. With thousands of visitors at the market, for three days only, December 11, 12, and 13, it will be a very busy time for Mifflinburg. Parking around the market is very limited and we encourage usage of our free shuttle service, which is sponsored by Geisinger.

Shuttles are available for free at three locations throughout market hours: Christ’s United Lutheran Church aka Four Bells Church (13765 Old Turnpike Rd, Millmont, PA 17845), Buffalo Valley Church of the Brethren (46 Brethren Church Rd, Mifflinburg, PA 17844), and Buffalo Valley Produce Auction (22 Violet Rd, Mifflinburg, PA 17844).

This year, Handicapped Parking is available near the Market in the Union County Government Center Parking Lot (N 5th St, Mifflinburg, PA 17844) for wheelchair/power chair individuals and placarded vehicles only. Thanks again to our shuttle sponsor, Geisinger, for proving the free shuttle service.

The Market is only a few weeks away and we still have some volunteer opportunities available! While preparing for the market is a year-long endeavor and we’re always open to community volunteers, we’re looking for support working in our Information Booths and our Christkindl Corner during market hours.

The Information Booths are at the two main market entrances and the primary responsibilities include handing out brochures and answering questions. The Christkindl Corner is the booth in the market center that sells German imports; responsibilities include helping customers with sales.

Volunteer opportunities are available by sending this page a direct message - we’ll send you the sign up and answer any questions you may have. For general market information, please check out our website: https://www.oldchristkindl.com.

Shifts are 1.5 to 2.5 hours and you would be trained on what to do. To volunteer in the Christkindl Corner you must be 18 years or older. Anyone interested in volunteering at an Information Booth under the age of 18 can volunteer with a parent/guardian or reach out to us to see what opportunities are available.
