Upcoming Eventide University Classes

Christkindl Markt and the History of German Markets - Emma McIntyre

November 11, Eventide Sheyenne Crossings, 2:00 PM

Emma McIntyre is the Manager of Development for Folkways, a community nonprofit dedicated to creating experiences where you belong. Folkways is responsible for the Red River Market, Night Bazaar, Christkindlmarkt, and CampusFM—and hosts over 140,000 event attendees each year. In addition to her role at Folkways, she is on the organizing committee for CreativeMornings Fargo, and is a member of the Great Plains Food Bank Board. She spends her free time outdoors in the summer with her two puppies, and indoors in the winter sewing, crocheting and more. ------ The History and Importance of European Holiday Markets European holiday markets date back centuries, originating in small German and Austrian villages as places to gather, share warmth, and celebrate the season's joy. These markets became cherished traditions, where community members would stroll through quaint stalls brimming with handmade crafts, festive decorations, and delicious treats like spiced nuts and mulled wine. Join us for a session to learn more about the history of these community markets dating back to 1434, and what the modern versions now look like in these same European communities including Fargo's own, Christkindlmarkt.
