INEVENTS Harmony Museum’s Annual 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 and Sunday, Nov. 9 & 10, 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 family-fun atmosphere. The thousands of visitors who attend each year find handcrafted and German imports. Artisans and vendors are chosen to participate based on the quality of their offerings; there’s no stereotypical “shopping mall festival” stuff. Entertainment, food and refreshments also reflect Harmony’s German heritage. Almost 50 artisans and specialty vendors provide the market part of WeihnachtsMarkt. Museum quilters and weavers demonstrate their work. Photos by Primetime Shots. 12 724.942.0940 TO ADVERTISE ❘ icmags.com
