DES MOINES, Iowa- Sunday is the final day of the Christkindlmarket in Des Moines and it’ll go from 11 a.m. through 5 p.m.

This year, the market was moved to the North parking lot in Principal Park. In previous years, the market was located in the West lot. Organizers said the move allowed them to utilize more space, but the market still has the same cozy feel Iowans have grown to know and love.

The Christkindlmarket is a German Christmas market where European cultures are being showcased through performance, drinks, foods, and crafts. Many of the vendors sell German products, but several are highlighting other European cultures.

Organizers said the warm weather on Saturday and Sunday has brought an increase in attendees this year.

One of the vendors is Kartoffelsack, a food truck distributing various different German foods. Owner, Denice Enamorado, is originally from Germany and she loves that she can share her culture with people in Des Moines.

This is also her first year as a vendor for the market, but that hasn’t stopped the community from showing support for her. She said she sold out of food each day of the market because of the high interest.

For attendees who are eating German food for the first time, Enamorado recommends people try the schnitzel and fries, which is a thin slice of meat with fries.

Sweet treats are also a must-try for many people who are attending the Christkindlmarket. One of the vendors providing the sugar fix is Sweetplums Cakes and Confections.

Julie Cullinan is the owner. She and her husband lived in Germany for a while, and that’s where she was exposed to German baked goods. For the past 8 years, Cullinan has sold traditional German cookies at the Christkindlmarket, and each year, she gets bigger and bigger.

Her best seller is the Lebkuchen, a traditional German cookie that takes a month to bake! Cullinan said she made 500 of this cookie alone for this market because they usually sell out fast. Because of her increased inventory, this is the first year she still has Lebkuchen on the last day of the market.

Aside from the Lebkuchen, there are plenty other treats at the market.

While German culture is at the forefront of the Christkindlmarket, many other European cultures are also on display.

Maren Skates is the owner of Rosemaled Creations by Maren, and this is her first time at this event. Despite being a new vendor, she said the market has so far been a massive success.

She does a Norwegian folk art on ceramics. The folk art is called “rosemaled,” and it’s traditionally done on wooden objects, but she decorates her ceramic pottery pieces with the traditional designs.

According to Skates, there are 20 different regional types of rosemaling in Norway. Her artwork is considered telemark rosemaling, which starts at a root and then branches out. It is known for its asymmetry.

She said her best sellers are her mugs.

The Christkindlmarket is also a platform for several small businesses based out of Iowa. One of them is the Twisted Sunset Sisters Fiber Mill. Ellen Hartsack and Savannah Scheufler are based out of Perry and own the business.

They work with small farms all across the country take their raw fiber and transform it into yarn. Their top sellers include hand-dyed yarn, felted soap (an ancient practice used to make soap last longer), and alpaca dryer balls.

The Christkindlmarket kicked off its last day on Sunday at 11 a.m. and will go through 5 p.m.
