Kerstmarkt: Pella's Dutch Christmas Market

Kerstmarkt is Pella, Iowa's charming Dutch Christmas Market, inspired by the cozy outdoor holiday markets of the Netherlands. Set along the picturesque Molengracht canal, it offers a festive shopping experience with over 25 vendors selling holiday and Dutch-themed artisan items.

This year's market is expanding to include the Pella Cinema lobby and features unique activities such as performances by the Eulenspiegel Puppet Theatre, Staphorst Classes, and live music, alongside warm drinks and delicious Dutch treats. It's an unforgettable event, typically held in conjunction with Pella's annual Christmas Tour of Homes.
