Helen’s Christkindlmarkt
In the German tradition of combining food, music and entertainment with markets of imported and local Christmas specialties, Georgia’s “Alpine” village is holding its first annual Christkindlmarkt. Long a tradition in Chicago, there are Christkindlmarkts in Pennsylvania, Colorado and Ohio. You can enjoy Georgia’s in (relatively) much warmer weather this weekend and next. The Helen Christmas parade is Dec. 6. Bands are scheduled during various times and Santa will be there too. (Christkindlmarkt is German for Christ child market.)

Hi Linda,
I’ve never visited Helen before during the winter season. But I was married there, under the gazebo on the hill, in 1989. Beautiful setting. I loved Helen’s shops and German restaurants. What fun it would be to visit at Christmastime.

All my best,
