The first event is the 10th annual *Christkindlmarkt, on Sunday, December 1st, 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. in downtown Port Jervis.

The festival includes twinkling lights, holiday music and seasonal aromas, with local retailers, specialty foods, handcrafters and entertainment.
Over 100 vendors can be found lining the streets of downtown. Vendors can also be found inside Erie Trackside Manor (1 Jersey Ave.) and, new for 2024, inside the R.H. Smith Mercantile Building (22 Jersey Ave.) across from the Erie Depot.
The Jingleheimer German Band will be returning to the festival. Take a ride through downtown on the horse and wagon. Don't miss the petting zoo and pony rides. Free admission and parking.
 The second event is the anticipated *Whoville Returns to Port! on Sunday, December 15th, 3 to 5, at the Promenade, also in downtown Port Jervis. Meet and greet the Grinch and residents of Whoville! Enjoy the silly antics of the Grinch, roast beast, games and crafts for children. Come dressed as your favorite character. Free admission and parking.
