The 2nd Annual Kris Kringle Market in Brookfield is shaping up to be a festive extravaganza that promises to outshine its inaugural year. Imagine strolling through a winter wonderland with a warm, newly designed 16oz mug in hand, browsing the wares of over 70 vendors showcasing unique gifts and crafts. Young entrepreneurs will display their innovative spirit, while elf helpers assist in penning wishes to Santa. Capture the holiday spirit at one of the many photo backdrops, creating memories that will last a lifetime. The fun begins at 10am, but that’s just the start; at 2pm trolley rides begin in town offering a charming view of the town showing off wood carvings, a petting zoo, and family activities abound. Don’t miss the opportunity for a cherished photo with Santa himself. The day culminates in the glow of the tree-lighting ceremony in front of the historic Grossdale Station, a moment of community pride and joy. This enchanting day is brought to you by the dedicated efforts of the Brookfield Chamber of Commerce and the Village of Brookfield, ensuring a holiday celebration that will be remembered for years to come.
