Christkindlmarkt sets attendance record

ArtsQuest of Bethlehem says it has set a record for this year’s annual Christkindlmarkt.

More than 117,500 people attended the 31st annual Christmas market, up almost 10% from 2022 that reported around 107,000 visitors that year, according to ArtsQuest.

More than 150 vendors, crafters and artisans were part of the market, along with music and food vendors.

“We love being able to support small businesses which in turn positively impacts the entire city. We’d also like to thank our volunteers who helped spread holiday cheer every weekend along with the support of the Bethlehem Police Department who made safety a priority for the entire festival. Christkindlmarkt is just one of the many events that makes the Christmas City so special,” said Eric Bauder of ArtsQuest.
