Check out the full schedule here.
On Thursday, November 30, enjoy a special performance by an American Idol fan favorite at 8:15pm. You don’t want to miss this! Book your time slot in advance, as capacities are limited.
Did someone say karaoke? Yes! Christmas Karaoke takes place on Monday, December 4 and Monday, December 18 from 6pm to 9pm in the Alpen Haus.
Refresh those holiday facts you’ve got stored away and dazzle the crowd with your knowledge of Elf and Love Actually. It’s Holiday Trivia Night on November 30 from 6pm – 7pm in the Alpen Haus.
The first three Tuesdays are Date Night. Put on your puffy coat, grab your sweetheart, and stroll under the twinkling lights of Lovers Lane with a mug of Glühwein (hot-spiced mulled wine). Couples receive a buy one, get one free ticket promotion and are encouraged to stop by the Info Hut to purchase a heart-shaped lock that can be added to the Love Lock and Lovers’ Lane installation. A very sweet new holiday tradition.
Prolific mural artist Ryan “Henry” Ward takes over the stage in the Alpen Haus for live painting sessions for 10 days. His paintings of whimsical characters will be on display and available for purchase. Hello, perfect gift!
Saint Nick will be in the Alpen Haus every Wednesday from 4pm – 9pm. Swing by with friends and family to enjoy a great photo opportunity and to wish Blue Saint Nick a happy holiday season. Why Blue Saint Nick? The color blue was traditional for the German version of St. Nikolaus. Frohes Fest!
