Saints Cyril and Methodius Byzantine Catholic Church proudly presents an opportunity for you to connect your business with thousands of Triangle-area families while supporting one of Raleigh's most beloved European holiday traditions.

Our St. Nicholas European Christmas Market brings a vintage, family-friendly atmosphere with shopping, food, and entertainment. Guests can sip mulled wine and hot chocolate, savor other tasty European favorites while enjoying The Little German Band, caroling, and dancing. We feature new, vintage, and handmade gifts from across Europe, and local small businesses with European and artisan flair.

  • Based on year-over-year growth, we anticipate welcoming approximately 13,000 visitors from Raleigh, Cary, Durham and throughout the Triangle.
