Great stop for cool souvenirs, ice cream, drinks, food, wine, olive oils, and the best part... cold cuts and cheese! I did not leave empty handed. As a cheese enthusiast... I could help but grab a few that made their way home to California. The cheese curds are also perfectly salty and chewy. I loved the selection of summer sausages and appreciated them sourcing locally.

A HUGE change from when I frequented the place in 2020 and prior. There were activity areas, games, a plethora of restaurants to choose from. The seating was limited on the first floor, though I didn't venture around as much as I would have liked. The restrooms are located just outside the dining hall area and were extremely clean and well maintained. I've already reviewed one of the food spots but there were so many to choose from as well as many that had bar service. Again, I can't stress enough how much of a difference it was to see the place being enjoyed once again. I'm definitely going to revisit at some point because I saw three or four restaurants I'd love to try out. And it's not a far walk from the Museum or Baird center, so no need to pay for parking twice.

We picked the evening to go hoping to see the beautiful yellow lights (and I recommend you to go in the evening too - same food same drinks same shops but the view is more beautiful). The ornaments and lights indeed made it festive, but there were surprisingly not many tents and people. And there was no music. The market felt kind of tiny, empty and quiet on the huge, open Fiserv Forum Plaza ground. Maybe as the holiday season approaches, the vibe will get better. Here are the things that we did and enjoyed: 1. Got the warm, creamy, rich Belgian hot chocolate in the super cute Milwaukee souvenir mug. It's $11 with the mug which is pricey for such a small size of drink. But I liked the mug a lot and thought sharing a mug of hot chocolate with someone you love on a cold winter evening is kind of sweet. 2. Different handmade crafts from Germany, blankets from Peru, outwear, tea, coffee cakes, chocolates, pies, candies, cookies, cream cheese, soap... We walked around the outdoor area to check out all the vendors. It took us less than 30 mins but it was fun. 3. Checked out the indoor Christmas décor and gift shop before getting food. The staff were super nice. 4. Got the Raclette cheese sandwiches! Watching the melty raclette got scraped into the bread was delightful. With $1 extra, you could add a brat to the sandwich with a similar amount of cheese (we thought, as I got one with just raclette and hubby got one with a brat). * My suggestions are: 1) eat the sandwich as soon as possible when it is still warm and moist. Don't spend too much time looking for seats or taking photos lol. 2) Your hands may smell stinky later if you touch the cheese, which is highly likely to happen as there is so much cheese! 5. Found the warming house and sat down and enjoyed some simple, traditional live Christmas music performed by a band.

A Christkindlmarket is a traditional European or German "Christ Child Market". Say "Kindle Fire". Now say "Krist Novoselic of Nirvana." Now say "Krist Novoselic has a Kindle." Then say "Krist Kindle Market". You've got the pronunciation! Love: - Gluwein in the heart-shaped souvenir mug! So tasty and festive! - Pierogi, sausages, sauerkraut - Raclette is so hot right now, and they've got it! (Tastes better than it smells, trust me.) - Hot chocolate in a souvenir mug - The warming house is huge, and sometimes has carolers - Bathrooms are the indoor kind by the Fiserv Beer Garden - It's.not.that.crowded (Seriously, just walk slowly, wait your turn at the stands, and practice patience). - Especially not crowded on a weeknight - Handmade crafts from Germany, and small businesses like Taylor Street Soaps from Little Italy in Chicago - Kaethe Wohlfahrt ornament and handcrafted nativities - Fiserv Forum Plaza/Herb Kohl Way makes a perfect location Improve: - More, more, more, make it bigger! - More crafts from Germany, please. Like those wooden handcrafted moose, dragons, animals, and those goofy toys like the squirrel whistles - More local businesses, and perhaps add Makers (from Milwaukee) that do Holiday signs 'n' stuff. This doesn't have to be just like Chicago's. - Add some high tops outside so people can post up to eat/drink - Can we get some Kinder Uberraschungs up in here? We won't choke on the prize, promise! - Commemorative art print really needs improving. Big missed opportunity to make a good art print into $ for charity, including cards, magnets, and an annual ornament. A good first year for Christkindlmarket Milwaukee!

Date of visit: July 9, 2025…read more Definitely a smaller version of the food halls you will find downtown Milwaukee, there is an eclectic mix of vendors here that really has a little something for everyone. When we stopped through I was initially thinking that I would get a shake from Purple Door because they have great flavors and I love the original in Walker's Point. Would like to try some of the sit down restaurants since the only one I had ever stopped at was Pizza Man, which has long since vacated the Mequon Public Market. Yet when we got to Lakeside Cookie Company, we were just so impressed by the staff and their enthusiasm for the product that we went with the cookies instead. I will say that the cookie--while soft--was a bit underwhelming for me, I am sure that there are other flavors that I might like better than the Oatmeal Scotchie.

I just found it a bit odd that all communication was done through Instagram. All the events I've done, the people in charge always email out information regarding the event instead of just using Instagram (or some other social media platform) because not everyone uses Instagram or Facebook. I understand that in this day in age, it's more likely than not that people have social media but it shouldn't be assumed that have it. The person who put on the event asked me for some info so she could do an Instagram post to help promote us. I sent so pretty basic info but nothing was posted. Thanks for the publicity. There was a vehicle that was parked in one of the vendor spots. No one moved the car so the vendor was unable to set up her booth. She ended up leaving and not staying for the whole event because the person putting on the event initially was rude to her and didn't try to help solve the situation that the vendor had no control over. It was not cheap to sign up as a vendor and being a small business, paying $100+ for a spot and not being able to stay and make enough to at least cover the cost of the spot is ridiculous. The whole Situation could be handled better. And there was definitely a lot of the same vendors (used clothing) and not a lot of variety. I wish there was a variety of vendors - it may have drawn a more wide range of clientele. So overall, I don't know if I would recommend this event, to be a vendor at or to shop at.

The catering process is very easy too, since the vendors are all available to work with. I look forward to my next visit here!

The tables are set up along the sidewalks right now, but I wonder if it will spill over into the green space around the gazebo if more vendors start taking part in the market. Today I just saw seven and they all had different offerings. The few I dealt with were cash only. Others may have card readers. I didn't ask because I didn't need anything from them. There is parking available on Franklin street, but if the spaces are full it looks like parking is available along Swiss Street. Alternatively, if it ever gains in popularity, there is definitely parking across from Wegner's Inn on St. Martins. I am a big fan of the change. The fair used to be held on the first Monday of every summer month from 6am through noon. I use the term fair loosely because it was just a few people spread out so far from each other. Definitely not what it was 15 years ago. I understand the tradition of a morning farmers market/fair, but it was so inconvenient. Now, since it is every Monday and goes until 7, I can still take part if I have to work late. It's like someone actually listened to my complaining :) There were Port-o-Johns and a wash station set up. I thought that was a nice touch in case anyone were to need a restroom. Please stop in and take advantage of this new market if you are in the area. I want it to succeed and not be reduced to just the Labor Day weekend flea-market style fair.
