The German American Societies in collaboration with the Rasselbande German Immersion Preschool proudly present a true German Christmas tradition:
Weihnachtsmarkt (Christmas Market)
These 'pop-up' markets are traditionally found sprinkled throughout Germany during the holiday season and can be relied on to instill the holiday mood in visitors with music, sights, sounds and tastes so much a part of the season.
This year the club along with the Rasselbande Preschools brings the tradition to East County and you’re invited! What better way to kick off this spirited season and enjoy some holiday cheer with your friends and loved ones. Shop for presents while enjoying live entertainment, traditional German food and drinks, fun photo opportunities, kid’s activities and more!
