In the heart of Mass Avenue’s Arts District, you’re invited to eat, drink, and be merry this holiday season.

At the Athenaeum Christkindlmarkt, you’ll find the traditional festival elements (music, warm raclettes, gluhwein and plenty of platzchen to go around) are just the foundation for special storytelling traditions unique to our rich, German culture. This is your chance to gather with friends and family, and celebrate the magic and wonder of the holiday season in our historic Biergarten.

The Athenaeum Christkindlmarkt will be back Fridays through Sundays, Nov 27th – Dec 20th, 2026!

All vendor hut slots are filled for 2026. Email info@athenaeumindy.org with information about your business or brand.
