GERMAN CHRISTMAS MARKET RETURNS
By: Noelle Hanek
With the recent festive decorations and music galore, it is obvious that the holiday season is officially here complete with all the fun activities. One well-known event in Sparta is the German Christmas Market. Initially, it was held on Lake Mohawk in Sparta, NJ until last year when it was canceled because of Covid-19. Now, the German Christmas Market has returned and took place at the Sussex Fairgrounds from December 3rd to 5th.
The market quickly filled up as the day went on, attracting people from all over Northern New Jersey! The vendor stands sold a variety of German foods, goods, and gifts. There were also craft stands located around the market. Some notable things included a Wood Carver who crafted beautiful and realistic sculptures, a miniature train world and a petting zoo. Imperfect Phil, a dog with a book series all about him, was also there to greet the visitors! Additionally, there were musicians and food trucks.
The market is a beautiful, festive, and fun experience and was a great way to spend time with friends and family while getting a taste of German Christmas culture! If you missed it this year, it is definitely worth checking out at the next holiday season!
