Kriskindlmarkt at CFSOTA

Help us make the 15th Annual Kriskindlmarkt a wonderful holiday experience for our community!

Kriskindlmarkt will take place at the Clifton Forge School of the Arts on Friday, November 20, 2026, from 2:00–8:00 PM and Saturday, November 21, 2026, from 10:00 AM–5:00 PM.

Each year, volunteers play an important role in helping this festive German-style Christmas market run smoothly. This year, we are looking for volunteers to assist with:

• Admissions – Running cash and card transactions for event entry
• Bar & Beer Tent – Assisting with beverage service and event operations
• Children’s Makers Space – Helping with free holiday-themed children’s activities
• Santa’s Helpers – Assisting Santa and helping create a fun experience for visiting families
• Courtesy Committee – General event assistance, cleaning, helping vendors, and lending a hand wherever needed
• Decorating – Helping us prepare the School and grounds for the holiday season

When completing the signup, you may select the volunteer positions you are interested in as well as the time slots when you are available. As we get closer to Kriskindlmarkt, we will contact all volunteers with finalized positions, schedules, and additional event details.

Kriskindlmarkt is one of our largest events of the year, welcoming visitors for artisan shopping, live entertainment, German-inspired food and drink, children’s activities, visits with Santa, and our Friday evening Garden Illumination. Your help makes this special community tradition possible!

Thank you for volunteering your time and supporting the Clifton Forge School of the Arts.
