We’re excited about our Cullman Christkindlmarkt! A host of vendors will be set up German-style in small wooden tents, and it’s a great opportunity to wrap up all of your Christmas shopping!
An annual must-see at Christmas in Cullman is the Christmas pyramid. Known in German as Weihnachtspyramide, it’s traditional German decoration of wooden figures that represent different symbols and seasonal elements. Typically the pyramid is hung from the ceiling or set on a small table, but ours is over 30 feet tall and is the tallest one in the United States. The size tiers of the Cullman pyramid each feature different scenes, including one that will pay tribute to our local police and fire fighter departments. You can find the pyramid located next to the Cullman County Museum.
