Hey! I'm a freelance writer and guidebook author. I've authored "New Hampshire's 52 With A View - A Hiker's Guide", serve as editor of Appalachian Mountain Club's "Southern New Hampshire Trail Guide", and and am co-editor of the "White Mountain Guide", also for AMC. I'm currently beginning work on the 6th Edition of AMC's Southern New Hampshire Trail Guide, which will be published in 2025. I live in southern New Hampshire and can usually be found wandering throughout the state's mountains and forests.
The holiday season is a time to celebrate friends and family, be thankful for all that we have, and to appreciate life. Community gatherings in public spaces that celebrate the holidays have long been a tradition, especially here in New England. Fortunately, this tradition has not been lost over the centuries, and you can still find one such NH holiday event at the Amherst German Christmas Market in Amherst.
The Amherst German Christmas Market brings its own special blend of traditional yuletide charm mixed with German Christmas festivities that have been enjoyed for ages.
The philosophy of the event is to bring people together in the collective spirit of community celebration, making lasting memories with family and friends.
Every aspect of the Amherst German Christmas Market is organized and managed by local volunteers who contribute their time and talents to create a memorable experience.
Visitors are welcome to stroll through the market and take in the eclectic assortment of local vendors offering one-of-a-kind wares and traditional German foods.
