INEVENTS HARMONY GERMAN CHRISTMAS MARKET The Harmony Museum’s annual WeihnachtsMarkt—a Christmas market in the German tradition that has become a major regional attraction—was held on Saturday, Nov. 10, and Sunday, Nov. 11, in the heart of Harmony’s National Historic Landmark District. The festival has become the museum’s prime annual fundraiser while presenting seasonal gift shopping in a fun family atmosphere. The thousands of visitors who attend each year find handcrafted items and German imports. Entertainment, food and refreshments also reflect Harmony’s German heritage. The eight-site Harmony Museum is operated by Historic Harmony, a nonprofit volunteer historical society and preservation advocate established in 1943. Almost 50 artisans and specialty vendors provide the market part of WeihnachtsMarkt. Museum quilters and weavers also demonstrated their work.
