    Already mentioned in the linked article but Michigan has a whole town basically dedicated to Christmas and beer

    https://www.frankenmuth.org/christmas/

    I remember going there as a kid with my grandparents around Christmas, some of the best memories I have with them. Then years later in the summer the beer fest has some fun fuzzy memories too.

    yes. downtown but I would not be surprised if a few suburbs have one or start to have one. It was a nice stop off after work when I worked downtown.

    In my part of Texas there will be one or two set up, but they’re not a “classic” holiday experience for most families, as best I can tell. I went to one in the parking lots outside of a baseball stadium and it was… fine.

      Word. I visited Pittsburgh a few Christmases back. Loved the city, and I hate cities. But the market there was sweet.

        Pitt is great once you’re able to stop driving! The trains take you where you need to go for little to no money, the museums and parks are solid and there’s plenty of stuff to see and do.

        I’m from a Catholic family so I have an apprecation for church design, organs etc. The Cathedral they have is pretty nice and reminds me of ones I’ve visited in Europe

          Oh man! the architecture of that city! Even the newer buildings tended to be nice to look at. But the older stuff is as amazing as any city I’ve ever been to.

          And you wanna talk about nice? Pittsburgh people were so damn welcoming. No city is perfect, but I’ve never been to any city where I had zero unpleasant encounters. Could have been luck (and probably was, at least in part), but it left a great impression on me.

    There was one when I lived in Frederick MD, but none here in NM.
