During the weeks of Advent, toy makers, basket weavers, wood carvers, candle mak- ers and other artisans set up booths in front of the lo- cal church, where browsers make their selections. The custom began in the 14th century and continues today in the charming "Bavarian" village of Ferdinand, Ind. Ferdinand's Christkindl- markt, held the third full weekend in November annu- ally, features over 200 lavish- ly decorated booths spilling over with quality hand-creat- ed items, Christmas wares, antiques, art,delicious re- gional food, live entertain- ment, free concerts, free tours and so much more. FINDING ALL SITES IS EASY! Just park and ride, as shuttle service is provided for free. Shuttles travel between the six markt sites via the Green (North) and Red (South) Routes and loop through town to other attractions and shopping venues FERDINAND, INDIANA is weekend!
