Christmas Market OC

Christmas Market OC turns Old World Village, Huntington Beach's Bavarian-style village, into a German-style holiday market for seven festive weeks. Families can wander the indoor European Christmas shopping village in the Festival Hall, browse handmade crafts, ornaments and seasonal gifts, and fill up on hearty German food, sweet treats and warm holiday drinks.

Kids can meet Santa for free on select weekend afternoons, hop aboard the Village Train on November 15 and December 12–13, and cheer on the dachshunds at the Wiener Dog Races on November 15 and December 6. On Sunday, December 20, the village hosts a Nativity Play.

Over in the Biergarten, the Garden Stage fills the air with free live holiday music Wednesday through Sunday, from country Christmas sets and a holiday jazz band to Christmas with Elvis.
