Hudson’s Clocktower Green will again be transformed into a German Christmas market as the city celebrates the holidays and its sister city relationship with Landsberg, Germany.

Christkindlmarkt will be held from 4 to 8 p.m. Friday, Dec. 10; from noon to 8 p.m. Dec. 11; and noon to 4 p.m. Dec. 12.

The annual winter street market, a tradition throughout Germany, will feature Northeast Ohio vendors selling handmade gifts. It will also feature live music and entertainment.

In addition, there will be German food and pastries, draft beer, hot mulled wine and hot apple cider.

Krampus will greet guests in the gazebo.

Children can also participate in a scavenger hunt to find Funko Pop! Krampus figures in windows on Main Street and First and Main.

The Hudson-Landsberg committee, which is organizing Christkindlmarkt, is a non-profit organization.
