Cambria Christmas Market

November 24 – December 23, 2023

Don’t forget to add the annual Cambria Christmas Market to your calendar! This event is based on an authentic German Christmas Market, featuring artisan vendor booths, 2+ million Christmas lights, food and drink inspired by Germany, live music, visits from Santa and much more. The event was even featured on ABC’s The Great Christmas Light Fight!

Christmas Market is a street market centered around celebrating the holiday season. The history of Christmas Markets goes back to the Late Middle Ages! Markets originated in Europe and are now held in several other countries. In many towns in Germany and Austria, the holiday season is opened with the traditional Christmas Market or “Weihnachtsmarkt.” Generally held near the town square, the market sells food, drink, and seasonal items from open-air stalls, accompanied by traditional singing and dancing.

We hope you’re able to experience this one-of-a-kind Christmas event on the Central Coast!
