St. Nikolaus Markt


The best event of the year, the Fredericksburg Christmas Parade is right around the corner. The parade will kick off Friday at 6:30 p.m. with 75 to 80 entries including floats, marching bands, vehicles, fire engines and even St. Nikolaus.
Also this weekend a German style market will be held a Marktplatz. There will be 35 booths for shopping, plenty of German food and drink and of course lots of entertainment.
Visitors will be able to observe the newly installed 26 foot Christmas themed German pyramid. The rotating pyramid, built in Erzgebirge, Germany is decorated with lighted candles. It is really a sight to behold.
Fredericksburg is decorated beautifully. Store fronts, city buildings, parks, homes and streets are decked out in all their holiday finery. We have gone all out to showcase a bit of our German heritage and we would love to share it with you. This is the best weekend of the year to be in the 'burg. See you at The Christmas Store
