On the first Saturday in December the town of Walkersville holds a festive Christkindlmarket. Many businesses and churches in the town participate by hosting vendors who sell their wares. Glade also participates by selling homemade soups, sandwiches and baked goods. There are activities for children, strolling carolers and upon the hour of 5 pm, the streets will glow with holiday lights. At the sounds of the historic church bells, we take a short stroll to Winter Wonderland, located at Fulton & Pennsylvania Avenues. Together, we light the holiday wreath and celebrate the season in song.
