"Obviously COVID is very real, but I think it's everybody's own decision and I think you have to go out and you have to be smart. You have to stay distanced from people and you have to wear your mask. You have to wash your hands and you have to stay out of big crowds," said Karl Burgart of Healthy Harvest, a Christkindl vendor.

The market features all the Old World traditions that visitors have come to love, like mulled spiced wine, German beers, European foods, and high quality vendors. Organizers have replaced the Festival Hall tent with a canopy of lights and entertainment on the Greek Amphitheater stage.
