Christmas Market 888 in Holland: A Magical Dutch Experience

Christmas Market 888 in Holland, MI

Kerstmarkt

In keeping with Holland’s Dutch heritage, the Holland Area Visitors Bureau envisioned a new way to experience our award-winning downtown in one of its most magical seasons: Christmas. CVB representatives researched European Christmas markets and found a sponsor to fund an exploratory excursion to Europe during the holiday season. They returned both enthusiastic about the idea and with booth blueprints.

A kerstmarkt (Dutch for “Christmas market”) is an outdoor winter event that features festive booths selling handmade gifts, traditional food and drink, and entertainment. They are a familiar sight in Holland, where local artisans and specialty shops showcase their crafts and offer a unique shopping experience.

Located in the heart of downtown Holland, Kerstmarkt has become a beloved tradition for West Michigan families. Vendors report customers from across the United States and even overseas attend, making it one of the most popular winter events in Michigan. This year’s market begins Saturday, Nov. 18 and runs through the four weekends leading up to Christmas.
