Kris Kringle Village Marketplace — NEW in 2021!

Fort Wayne Ballet is excited to launch Kris Kringle Village as part of its festivities with The Nutcracker and to center seasonal holiday activity on the Arts Campus. The village takes its cue from traditional German Christmas Markets that fill the holidays with food, entertainment, and seasonal ornaments, gifts, and fare. The Village will open during Night of Lights and weekends during The Nutcracker — find the full list of times and vendors at KrisKringlefw.com!
