New Ulm’s Weihnachts Markt lights up German Park on Friday, November 27, 2026, from 11:00 a.m. to about 5:15 p.m., kicking off the holiday season in Minnesota’s “Christmas City.” The outdoor market features local vendors, food trucks, decorated trees, and family fun, then crowns the afternoon with the official lighting of New Ulm’s famous 40-foot upside-down Christmas tree at 5:00 p.m.—a German medieval custom—before the Parade of Lights begins nearby at 6:00 p.m.
