Holiday at Carter Green sponsored by Allied Solutions is the City of Carmel’s annual festival and tree lighting ceremony on opening day of the Christkindlmarkt and The Ice at Carter Green.

This year’s event will take place from 3 to 6:45 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 23.

Celebrate the grand opening of Carmel’s authentic German holiday market and The Ice at Carter Green with Santa, reindeer and other animals, jugglers, carolers, balloon artists, and more. Children will receive free goodie bags filled with surprises donated by event sponsors while supplies last.
