Christkindlmarkt, A Southern Ocean County Holiday Favorite, Coming Soon To Tuckerton Seaport

Christkindlmarkt - a three-day holiday market and craft fair - is coming to the Tuckerton Seaport on Dec. 2, Dec. 3 and Dec. 4.

The popular three-day event is a great opportunity to do some holiday shopping, sample New Jersey wines from Laurita Winery, take a Christmas ornament class, and even take a horse-drawn wagon ride.

Most of the event is held under a large heated tent and in other Seaport buildings.

Students can come for two hours and make one stocking, or stay all day and make more.
