One of our biggest events each year is our German style "Christkindl" Christmas Market.
It is held the first Saturday of December 10:00 am to 4:00 pm at Bridgepoint Mission Center - 1960 hwy 23, Wisconsin Dells, WI 53964 (That means December 5th, this year - 2026).
This curated artisan market is the pefect venue in which to find special and unique gifts for others or something with which to treat yourself.

Come enjoy shopping in the warm indoors accompanied by live music. German Christmas treats are available to purchase, including Lebkuchen, Stollen, and our own non-alcoholic version of Gluhwein!
Please forgive the lack of umlaut. Html is fussy!

We are now accepting applications for vendors. Vendor fees are only $50 and include one six foot table with black table cloth, custom signage, decorations, and two chairs. Access to wifi and electricity are also available. Only 10 vendors will be accepted each year so be sure to secure your place early.

We are also accepting applications for musicians. Musicians are requested to provide one hour of live music. Music is not required to be Christmas themed, but should be family friendly and at a level that allows for comfortable conversation and shopping. There is no fee to be a musician and you also will have access to a shared table from which to sell cd's, merch, etc for as long as you remain on site.

This can be an excellent opportunity for music teachers to bring their students to perform and share information about their teaching services, or for church worship teams to share God's word in song and let people know about their church and its opportunities to gather with other believers.
