What is OKM Music’s Christkindl Market?

OKM Music’s Christkindl Market, hosted in Bartlesville, brings a beloved German and European tradition to our community. This enchanting Christmas market was designed to evoke the charm of a festive holiday village straight from a German storybook. Inspired by the historic Christkindlesmarkt in Nuremberg, Germany, dating back to the 16th century, our market showcases vendors offering high-quality gifts and foods such as bratwurst, sausage and potato soup, pretzels, European pastries and gluhwein (mulled wine). The market stalls are adorned with handcrafted ornaments, seasonal decorations, artisanal goods, and more, creating a warm holiday atmosphere that resonates throughout Bartlesville, inviting families to partake in festive activities and embrace the spirit of the season. Each year, the event features performances by Santa and Mrs. Claus and numerous local talents, bringing the joy of music to attendees.

Kids are also able to enjoy three days filled with engaging activities! Kids always love the activities and games! There is so much to see and do. Check out All About Kids!
