Kids line the streets today for a chilly field trip at the Christkindl market

Shoppers continue to browse the market place in Downtown Denver.

Christkindlis a marketplace in Downtown that hosts vendors from European nations. From the Denver Mile High Holiday’ssite:

This year the Denver Christkindl Market will once again host vendors from Germany and other European countries who offer quality, hand-carved wooden figurines, handmade candles, and ornaments. Traditional German food, pastries, and candy as well as authentic German beer and Gluhwein will be featured.

The market can be found on the corner of Arapahoe and 16th St. in Denver.

I showed you a photo of Union Station during the day in a previous post. This is Union Station at night all lit up for the holidays.

All of the street lights along 16th in Downtown are adorned with cute Christmas decorations. This past Friday the city came alive with reds, greens, and blues, stars and snowflakes, all shapes and sizes of decorations galore.

This is the window display at the Oxford Hotel in LODO. The display mimics an old toy shop with puppets and gears that really move and turn. I have not ventured through the front doors of this hotel but through the window I can tell it is luxurious. Right now there are garlands, wreaths, and Christmas trees scattered throughout the lobbies and the restaurant. If you are looking for luxury in an old historic hotel, the Oxford is the place for you.

The decorations are going up in Denver. Next weekend is the official lighting of the city.
