VENDORS

Welcome to the Wildly Inclusive Co-op non-profit fundraiser! We are thrilled to have you join us for our Second annual Durham German Market. This festive event is not only a celebration of holiday traditions but also a vital fundraiser that supports our mission to create an inclusive, affirming, and supportive educational environment for learners of all ages, abilities, and neurotypes.

With over 15,000 visitors at the 2024 market, this event quickly became THE event to attend here in Durham.

What is a German Market?

A German market, often called a Weihnachtsmarkt or Christkindlmarkt, is a festive outdoor market that traditionally takes place during the holiday season. These markets are known for their charming stalls offering a variety of handmade crafts, gifts, holiday decorations, and delicious German food and beverages. Visitors can enjoy traditional treats such as bratwurst, pretzels, and mulled wine (Glühwein), while experiencing the warm, festive atmosphere with music, lights, and entertainment for all ages.
