Discover The Magic Of A European Christmas Village At One Of South Carolina’s Newest Holiday Markets

Starting in 2021, the Kringle Holiday Village, a three-day Christmas event, began in Greenville as an effort between the Rotary Club of Greenville and the Greenville Drive to raise money for local charities while families, friends, and neighbors celebrate the holiday season together and meet new friends at the Biergarten, all while enjoying great food, drink, and entertainment. This European Christmas village in Greenville is a magical experience you won't soon forget.

This year's event is scheduled for December 8th - 10th, 2023.

The Kringle Holiday Village is held at the Fluor Field on South Main Street in downtown Greenville.

It's one of Greenville's newest holiday traditions, a true European-style holiday market. You may just decide to make it your own annual tradition once you experience it.

The price of admission covers entrance into the park and all activities associated with the event! Since most of the experiences, entertainment, and food and beverages are located under covered areas in the concourse or tented, the weather does not result in cancellation of the event.

Peruse the exquisite hand-crafted goods offered by local artisans and find something special for yourself or someone on your gift list!

In addition to vendor booths, there's a silent auction you can also participate in, if you wish.

Of course, there will be plenty to eat at the event, including German-influenced cuisine, meals inspired by an in-house chef, and warm pretzels with beer cheese and bratwurst sandwiches, the crowd favorites. Soda, hot chocolate, coffee, beer, wine, and mixed drinks will also be served at various locations in the Village.

There's more fun than you could imagine at this European market. Some options include face painting, inflatables, a magician, an ice artist, Santa's Workshop, and so much more!

There will be plenty of opportunities for capturing the perfect memory.

And then, there are photos with Santa as well as an opportunity to have brunch with Santa if you'd like more than just a photo.

Visit the Kringle Holiday Market website for much more detail including a complete list of this year's participating vendors, activities, dates for the event, and more. You can purchase tickets online or at the box office on the day of the event. Book a room at the Grand Bohemian Lodge in the picturesque Falls Park on the Reedy, and spend some time enjoying the most enchanting main street during the Christmas holiday season.
