What is it?

“Kerstmarkt” in Dutch means “Christmas market.” Such markets pop up all over the Netherlands during the Christmas season, offering a venue for local artisans and specialty shops to sell their wares while shoppers gather and enjoy traditional food, drink, and entertainment.

Kerstmarkt in Holland, Michigan, began with a dream at the Holland Area Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB). Holland has always been a very popular destination in the spring, summer, and fall, and the CVB wanted to find a way to encourage visitors to visit our award-winning downtown during one of the most beautiful seasons: Christmas.
