Kewaunee’s 12th Annual Christkindlmarkt has grown in popularity with shoppers looking for craft items not found in box stores. The old-fashioned, German-style holiday market at Lakehaven Hall is a highlight of the community’s holiday kickoff. Ben Kornowski, of the Kewaunee Area Chamber of Commerce, says Christkindlmarkt has developed a good reputation beyond the lakeshore communities.

Kornowski says this year’s event, which ran from 9:00 AM-4:00 PM Saturday, drew shoppers from Green Bay and Waupaca who are looking for a different shopping experience.
