This past Thursday evening was the opening ceremonies of the 13th annual Christkindl Market at Kitchener City Hall. The festival lasts 4 days and is running until this Sunday (tomorrow) at 5pm.
Ryan and I have made an annual tradition of going to the opening ceremonies, which begins with a candle-lit processional from Victoria Park to City Hall with the Grand Philharmonic Choir. After the choir sings, the narration is read, and the tree is lit, we explore the German Christmas festival. Vendors sell crafts, food, toys and more in the indoor market, while outdoor vendors supply the festive crowds with meats, cheeses, waffles, and even some spirits.
Although there was no snow, the festive cheer was abundant.
Frohe Weihnachten!
