THE GALA 2025
November 20
Our first Market was held in 1988. We only utilized the ballroom half of the Civic Center, but it was a
rousing success. The market has grown and expanded through the years, but has maintained the special
traditions of Christmas handed down from our German ancestors, while staying true to the market
mission of benefitting the Sophienburg Museum & Archives.
Weihnachtsmarkt (Vy-noks-markt) is the largest fundraiser for the Sophienburg Museum & Archives, furthering our mission of Creating Connections and Enriching Lives through the Power of History. All proceeds go to support museum operations and educational programming.
Enjoy an exclusive Christmas shopping experience at Weihnachtsmarkt, a German-style Christmas Market with a Texas Twist. The market will offer authentic German collectibles and ornaments, unique decorations, specialty items, fabulous gifts, apparel and antiques. Select from a wide array of retail merchants and artisans.
