The Christmas Night Market is a festive, fun and faith-filled event!

Explore collectables created by St. Nicholas-inspired artist Pipka Ulvilden, on display for this event! Carolers, St. Nicholas and Christmas cookies are all part of the experience.

The Christmas Night Market was inspired by the Christkindl market in Door County, Wisconsin, one of the most popular winter cultural attractions in the region. There, Bishop Kulick met artist Pipka Ulvilden and learned about her family’s escape from war-torn Europe during the fall of communism. Her moving story and her love of St. Nicholas is coming this December to the Diocese of Greensburg.
