Baltimore Holiday Market Extends Season

Baltimore’s Christmas Village will operate through December 27, 2026, extending its run past Christmas Eve for the first time. The holiday attraction is set up at 501 Light Street in the Inner Harbor.

The event is scheduled to open on November 21. The final day of operation will be December 27. This schedule change allows the market to remain open for an additional week compared to previous years.

More than 70 vendors will sell goods at the market. The lineup includes both local and international sellers. Vendors will offer unique gifts, holiday decorations, handmade items, and seasonal treats to visitors.

Food and drink options have been updated for the current season. Traditional German items such as Glühwein, Glühbier, and German beer are returning. New menu additions include a Chesapeake Bay Crab Loaded Baked Potato and Hot Caramel Cider.

Entertainment features include visits with Santa at the Visitor Center and the Festival of Trees. The Festival of Trees is held in partnership with the Kennedy Krieger Institute. Weekly wine tastings, holiday workshops, movie nights, and themed weekends are also part of the programming.

The market will operate from noon to 8 p.m. on Sundays through Thursdays. Hours extend to noon to 9 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. The venue is closed regularly on Mondays and Tuesdays, except for special holiday dates. Special openings are scheduled for Thanksgiving Day and from December 21 through December 27. Discounted parking is available for guests traveling downtown.

Live music and appearances by the character Gingy will take place throughout the event. The attraction aims to provide family-friendly activities for residents and visitors during the holiday period.
